Awesome community!

I need your help. I’ve been playing with an idea for a while and this weekend I want to get it started :slight_smile:

The goal is to 3D print a World Map, about 2m wide. The idea is to have actual elevation represented and print it like a puzzle, with each piece being a country / state. It will take me about 250 printed pieces I expect which on average should fit my printers.

My question:

Does anybody know, can help me, with translating a world map into different .stl files per country/state, with the actual elevations represented in the files? Has this already been done before maybe?

I’ve seen similar concepts like this one: World Map by toddsplod67 - Thingiverse 419, but I’m aiming to have this per country and on a larger scale.

Help is much appreciated.

Cheers!

Filemon

This is a nice tool! I actually wanted to print my own country like that, however this tool doesn’t really allow to generate it as bis as a country (even a really small one). You can do cities for sure tho!
