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
1. Import the STL to your slicer.
2. Scale the X or Y dimension to the desired size with Uniform scale checked.
3. (Optional) Scale up the Z dimension to accentuate the 3D features.
4. 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.
5. Slice and print.
6. 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!
7. Set on shelf, tabletop, or hang on wall with sticky mounting strips.
