Customizable Topo Map Stand

thingiverse

This customizer creates a labeled backing stand that is designed for use in conjunction with exports of topographic map regions from Terrain2STL, a powerful tool for generating terrain maps. The model creates the stand itself, but you will need to export your own terrain map from Terrain2STL and size it to match the stand. Once the map and stand are sized correctly, they can be joined together in Meshmixer to create the final design for printing. For an easier approach, download the included OpenSCAD code and modify it directly; this will allow you to import your exported map and compare sizes within OpenSCAD. The example pictured was printed in Porcelain and glazed in Celedon Green at Shapeways, showcasing the beautiful Shenandoah Valley region around Harrisonburg, Virginia.
