This was imported from my Thingiverse account:
Regarding the model:
I've been interested in making an educational 'puzzle' with the countries in Africa, but also interested in the actual height above sealevel, so I made this thing.
The countries are modeled fairly accurately but the heights are a little exaggerated so they look more interesting. This doesn't include the islands like Cape Verde and the Comoros because they are just too small to represent and also don't really fit the 'puzzle' idea!
Also 'The Gambia' is a tiny sliver that I lost 2 seconds after completing the print! (Your mileage may vary)
I printed the top levels at 0.05mm layer heights and switched colors 3 times during the print and it gave a great effect!
Try it out - I think it's pretty cool!
How it was made:
I found a vector version of Africa and also downloaded Lidar data which contains the height above sea level and combined them into a 3D model.
