Downtown San Francisco
California, United States
The Financial District, where the mapped outlines sit on ground that genuinely moves — San Francisco's hills come through in the plinth, and buildings step up the slope rather than sitting on a flat plate.

How this model is made
Capture
Mapped building outlines are read from OpenStreetMap and the ground beneath them sampled from open terrain tiles.
Solidify
The surface is closed into a watertight solid with a plinth and a raised rim, sharing boundary vertices so there are no seams for a slicer to complain about.
Download the STL and slice it. No supports needed: overhangs are removed by construction, and anything too fine for a nozzle is dropped rather than printed badly.
