Size & materials
The map is an 8" (20 cm) hexagon measured point to point, 3D printed in PLA in several colours: terrain, forest, water and the trail. It comes set in a hex frame with a name plate.
Colours
Every map is printed to order, and colours change quite a bit from print to print, so your map will likely look different from the photos: the terrain, forest and water may all be different shades or colours. The photos show the shape and detail, not a guaranteed colour scheme. Want particular colours? Mention it at checkout or email us and we'll do our best to match.
Pickup & shipping
Free local delivery or pickup in Okotoks, Alberta or Kamloops, BC, or Canada Post parcel shipping anywhere in Canada (Regular or Expedited, whichever is cheapest), priced at checkout from your postal code.
