Why
I wanted to get better at using topographic data sources and incorporating them into models.
Model Details
Data Source
The Wellington region topological data was sourced from https://www.opentopography.org/ using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STRM) Global dataset.
Tools Used
Paint.Net; Inkscape; QGIS Desktop, Fusion360, PrusaSlicer
Method
Relief data was selected and exported from OpenTopography.org and imported into QGIS Desktop. A greyscale heightmap was generated and exported as a png. This png was tweaked in Paint.Net and then converted to a 3mf using https://imagetostl.com/
The raw topographic 3mf mesh was then combined with other artwork (converted to SVG using InkScape) to create the magnet shape which was exported as a final mesh (the 3mf files inlcuded with this model) into PrusaSlicer which was used to generate and tweak the final gcode (The gcode files included with this model).
