Hypsos

What is Hypsos?

Hypsos turns any section of the world into a printable 3D map tile in the browser. You search for a place or click on the satellite, topographic or street map, pick a rectangle, circle, hexagon or heart, and load the data. The design step then builds a tile with relief, raised streets, recessed water, woods and meadows, towns and individual buildings, each as its own layer.

There are style presets such as Natural relief, Candy town, City map, Topo coin, Sweetheart, Forest hex tile and Neon night, and you can set the number of colors, the print size (160 mm by default), base thickness and height exaggeration. Each layer has its own controls, from road width and relief to water waves, how much small woods merge, building height and place-name labels, and you choose your nozzle so thin features stay printable. You can add a frame and your own labels.

The download is a multicolor 3MF with one body per filament, or an STL with all layers merged for a single color. Hypsos is free with no account and no paid tier; there is a Buy Me a Coffee link for support.
