Africa country puzzle

thingiverse

I've been fascinated by creating an educational 'puzzle' with the countries in Africa, and also intrigued by the actual height above sea level, so I designed this model. Regarding the design: The countries are modeled fairly accurately but the heights are a bit exaggerated to make them more visually appealing. This does not include the islands like Cape Verde and the Comoros because they are too small to represent and don't really fit the 'puzzle' concept. Also, 'The Gambia' is a tiny sliver that I lost 2 seconds after completing the print! (Your mileage may vary) I printed the top layers at 0.05mm layer heights and switched colors three times during the print, which gave an amazing effect! Try it out - I think it's really cool!
