FAQ

Are the model’s proportions realistic?

The description includes scaling factors for each axis. For example, if you see X – 0.001, Y – 0.001, Z – 0.003, this means the height is three times greater than the width and length. We scale height this way to emphasize the relief.
If you need uniform proportions, let us know—we’ll prepare a custom model upon request.

How can I adjust the model’s height?

Send us your required specifications, and we’ll adapt the model accordingly.

Is the model waterproof?

Yes, we check every model for integrity and errors.

Can it be printed on FDM printers?

Yes. For better surface quality, we recommend printing it vertically.

How to CNC-cut a very large map?

Larger models require more polygons to preserve relief detail. Provide your desired dimensions, and we’ll prepare:
