Description
This object was created with a python script I wrote called dem2stl:
https://github.com/GeoffWilliams/dem2stl
You can use it to convert any jpeg format digital elevation map into a 3D printer STL file.
The data for this example object was obtained from GeoScience Australia by selecting the free download at the following page:
The DEM in gallery is a low resolution preview of the data from the above link.
I printed at 100% scale using fine detail. The results wern't perfect but weren't terrible either.
Some detail was lost because my printer couldn't handle the resolution. Suggest scaling to a larger size if your printer can handle this or use the above links to download and rescale the data in the stl file.
