I love the overhead projector adding another level of information to this.

I wonder how hard it would be to make one of these of my town.

Surely there's publicly available lidar data that I could import into some software to slice it into squares small enough for me to 3D-print? Although I guess I'd have to make sure I'm not just printing noise where trees are...



it depends how big you want to scale it. This one must be quite costly by the look of it. I wouldnt be surprised if it costs multiple hundreds of thousands to realise this maquette.


Oh, I'm sure - this is a professional installation. I'd have a budget of... whatever filament I have laying around :P

Hell, might be easier to somehow convert my 3D printer into something that can cut XPS foam instead.
