This is a 2D shaded relief map of Middle Earth, with a crazy depth illusion. The print is only 2mm thick, but because of the way the print is shaded, looks to be a lot thicker and 'deeper' than that.

Note the STL for this map is very detailed (lots of triangles). I've included two 3MFs, one 'Simplified' and another 'Not Simplified'. If you're finding your slicer is taking too long to slice the 'Not Simplified' version, please try the 'Simplified' one instead. Or you can just simplify the map to your own settings if you like!

The 3MF files will already have the swaps coded in. If you use the STL, the swap instructions are below:

Print Instructions Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.04mm with a base layer of 0.2mm

Filaments Used:

• PLA Siddament Black Transmission Distance: 0.2
• PLA+ Sunlu Coffee Transmission Distance: 3
• PLA Sunlu Beige Transmission Distance: 8.2
• PLA META Sunlu White Transmission Distance: 9.6

Swap Instructions:

• Start with Black
• At layer #19 (0.92mm) swap to Coffee
• At layer #27 (1.24mm) swap to Beige
• At layer #32 (1.44mm) swap to White for the rest.
