Description
updated version: higher resolution, integrated numbers
A 240 piece 3D puzzle of our moon based on real elevation data
(a smitch exaggerated for dramatic effect).
Diameter: 200 mm (8 inch)
Print time: days..!
Models: pre-arranged on 4 standard sized build plates (200x200mm)
(Update: More build plate configurations can now be generated using the Reconfigurator)
A lot of fun to put together and quite challenging without the use of a cheat sheet.
Not to mention that it makes for an eye-catching piece of decor sitting on your desk or on a shelf when it's fully assembled.
I have also included a guide to help you identify and locate a few of the interesting landmarks, including the moon landings.
Enjoy!
