Added another print profile for a optional "badge" you can glue on the frame.

Original post

Loved this game as a child (18 year old child of course) so I decided to make this map and give myself a challenge.

It is a 3D Map and uses 9 (!) colors to print. But you need only 1 AMS to print it. For best results you should use a 0,2mm nozzle (the docks in the south are pretty tiny)

Please check the print instructions below!

Also included in one of the printing profiles are the vice city logo and a fitting frame for the map. You can hang it onto your walls as decoration of just lay it flat on a table.

The size of the map is 245mm x 225mm x 5mm

With the frame its 273mm x 253mm x 15mm

The logo is about 50mm x 25mm

The map takes around 25h to print

No glue required. Maybe some sanding for the frame parts

Print instructions:

You need 9 colors: (10 if you print the logo)

• Black
• White
• Light grey
• Dark grey
• Light green
• Dark green
• Blue
• Yellow
• Brown
• Optional: Pink (for the logo)

Step 1: Fill AMS with these colors

Step 2: Start print

Step 3: Change filament I

• Wait for the print to pause
• Change filament in slot 1 from blue to yellow
• Resume print

Step 4: Change filament II

• Wait for the print to pause
• Unload filament the current filament and write down which AMS slot it was!
  • Since this is a simple pause in the gcode, the current used filament is still loaded and cannot be pulled out in order to change the spool
• 
• Change filaments in all AMS slots

• Very important!!!!
  • Load the Filament into the slot you wrote down before changing the spools
    • Since this was a simple pause in the gcode, the filament will not be pulled in automatically, but need to be loaded manually.
• 

Step 5: resume print

Step 6: Enjoy

Assembly instructions:

• Assemble 2x frame top/bot and 1x frame right/left
• Slide the map in
• Assemble remaining frame top/bot
• Optional: Glue the logo
