Create a 3D relief map of your Michigan! These topographical terrain maps make the perfect decor for residents, travelers, and explorers of the state.
Steps
- Import the STL to your slicer.
- Scale the X or Y dimension to the desired size with Uniform scale checked.
- (Optional) Scale up the Z dimension to accentuate the 3D features.
- Use default slicer settings for your printer with the smallest layer height it can do. For maximum detail, use 0.10 - 0.16 mm layer height. You can use a larger layer height to draw attention to the topographical lines that are naturally created with the layer stair-stepping.
- Slice and print.
- Mount in a frame or shadow box. Add paper behind the model/glass to add an accent color with shadowing. Or try a floating frame. Or don't frame it, and mount it directly on the wall with mounting strips. Make it your own style!
- Set on shelf, tabletop, or hang on wall with sticky mounting strips.
