The Blender file of the 3D viewer of Tenochtitlan is released. You can download it from the main website.
It's like a digital twin, made for tinkering. It has a lighting and material setup to get you started. It renders in both Cycles and EEVEE

Mexico City is currently blessed with beautiful snow capped Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. Snow occurred in Tenochtitlan, and there's even a record of a proper blizzard. #cdmx #nieve #tenochtitlan

That big plotter has always been a bit wobbly as the arm is just quite big, but still the precision is quite nice
Plus you can use weird pens to give you effects you just don't get from a printer, or special paper.
