I found a neat little artist page where they have the local star map, the milky way, the local super cluster and a bunch of other neat laser crystal stuff: https://www.bathsheba.com/crystal/#astro

I'd get one, or for that shipping cost make a better one and send them the data, but current shipping in and out of the US is ... interesting.

A quick google on openscad shows how someone build a model of the solar system: https://www.chrisfinke.com/2016/03/08/animating-the-solar-sy... if anyone else wants to have a go this would be a good place to start generating a model to send to the artist.

Unfortunately the local star map hasn't been updated in quite some time. (There's an argument to be had if the sub-brown dwarfs are proper stars but Luhman 16 certainly is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhman_16 )

I emailed them about eight years ago to ask if an updated version might include recent WISE discoveries, and the reply I got indicated little interest in doing so.
