An example of a 3D printed topographic map, with .stl file generated from: https://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/
I used three colors to differentiate the water, land, and higher mountain elevations. With a simple color change at selected heights in the slicer.
Fun to print areas that you are familiar with, or are near and dear to your heart.
Can also be fun educational tool for understanding topographic maps and topo lines.
My exported stl files had to be scaled down in the slicer by 50%. So the settings for the STL Generator need to account for any scaling you are going to do. A “Base Height” of 5mm and a “Water Drop” of 1mm will give a model thickness of 4mm for the water areas, but if you are scaling down by 50%, then that thickness becomes 2mm. Once you have those two settings figured out, you can use the “Vertical Scaling” to increase the height of the mountains and terrain to what looks best to you. The STL Generator settings I used are below.
- Vertical Scaling: 2
- Base Height: 5mm
- Water Drop: 1mm
