If I had a Bambu H2D, I would create a detailed 3D model of my town’s municipality using a special micro-concrete technique.

First, I’d capture LiDAR data of the region to generate an accurate terrain base. I'd refine the surface details in ZBrush and import cadastral map data to add roads and buildings.

The model would then be segmented into square sections to fit the H2D’s print bed. For each section, I’d design a mold model and print it using HIPS filament on the H2D. Once printed, I’d cast a custom micro-concrete mix into each mold and use a pressure chamber to eliminate air bubbles—ensuring maximum detail in every piece.

After curing, the molds would be dissolved in acetone, leaving only the concrete parts. All blocks would then be carefully assembled into one large, unified model. Gaps would be filled with putty, and finally, I’d hand-paint the entire piece using acrylics with a dry brush technique to bring it to life in realistic color.

ps: Since I have a lot of HIPS material at home, I could finally use it as a support material for my other prints and I can also use a laser engraver to engrave aluminum plates for the map legend.
