A 3D printed map of San Francisco, framed

San Francisco's hills and narrow, tightly packed houses make it one of the best cities for a model. North Beach has Washington Square, Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill and blocks of three-storey houses built wall to wall.

The printed model includes terrain, so the hills you walk up every day rise off the base in contour steps, like a relief map. The 3D preview shows them too.

Questions about San Francisco models

Can I choose somewhere not listed above?

Yes. The areas are just starting points. Search any address in San Francisco, or anywhere else, and drag the square where you like.

Is a brand-new building included?

Buildings come from OpenStreetMap. Very new ones can take a few weeks to appear, so check the preview before you order. You can add a missing one yourself.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Tick "This is a gift" and enter their address at checkout: there's no price in the box, and your note comes printed on a card. Not sure of the spot? A gift card lets them choose.
