Description
This is an entry in the MakerBot United contest.
We wanted to see how good a city would look printed out on a Thing-O-Matic. What better city to choose than New York? So here is lower Manhattan. The file was originally downloaded from Google's 3d warehouse, but it has been heavily modified to make it printable. This was created by MakerBlock and I. The bridges didn't come out too well, but to scale them up so they would be recognizable would just make them ridiculously big.
Original sketchup file was created by Wolfman and was dowloaded here:

Great minds think alike....
I've been browsing Google's 3D warehouse for exactly the same thing and exactly the same purposes. My plan is /was to cut a 3D model of manhattan in multiple pieces and turn it into a puzzle.

Sounds awesome. You should still do it. There is a LOT more to New York than just this. This one actually took up the entire Y Axis on my build platform. So, if you could chop up a bunch of pieces of a city into pieces the size of this, you would get a really detailed and amazing look layout of the city.
