3D fun - print your local area

This is fun. Got a 3D printer standing idle? Go to:

https://touchterrain.geol.iastate.edu

Find somewhere interesting on the map, and click to download an STL file of the terrain. Ready to 3D print.

Here are the Malvern Hills on the Worcestershire/Herefordshire border:

This could be useful in planning a fictional railway.

And fun for children to build up the whole county, paint it to show railways, rivers, farms, plan walks and bike rides.

Hi Martin,

It would be interesting if it worked! How did you get that? Even over the Malverns I just get told there’s no data (all elevation values are 0.0), and can only see the default map view.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

You need to select a data source -- the default is USA only.

I clicked this, I didn't try any of the others:

Have fun.

cheers,

Martin.

Ah, thank you! Even on my widescreen monitor there's no drop-down arrow on that box so it didn't register with me! I wonder how Yr Wydffa will look on an FDM printer
