So where there are well-known elevations. Printing a terrain model – ideal for mountain ranges, volcanoes or abysses.Models based on maps can be divided into two groups: Input data will be topographic maps that are most interesting for 3D printing purposes. Thanks to these models, we can see the landscape from a bird’s eye view. How about a plastic model of terrain for school education, a small-scale version of a national park, a model that shows the overview of a real-world race track, or perhaps a tiny version of a mountain you climbed in the past. That’s why every time the 3D printing technology is applied in practical use, I’m excited! Today, I’ll show you how to print a 3D map, that can serve in a number of situations not only using our Original Prusa i3 MK3 printer.

From time to time, every 3D printer owner is asked the same question: “Why is the printer really good and useful? I cannot imagine what would I use it for.” I did not find a satisfactory answer to this simple question at first, because I don’t consider printing figures and statues as the right example.
