Home to Michigan Tech and its many traveling students is shown in this accurate topographic layout. The X/Y scale of this image is correct but there's a small error in Z to make for better printing on regular paper. The full data source, tool chain used, 4mm base thickness will be posted once I get some time off from work. This topographic map needs the following updates: Add a compass rose and labels for MTU and notable places of interest Separate land and water with dual-color print Down-sample to smaller files A large file size has resulted from leaving the original SRTM-1 data mostly intact. This high-resolution, approximately 30m accurate, image is about 1 Arc-second in resolution. The first test print is now complete and available at Instructions. In order to print water flatly and properly without any sagging you will need several layers of top/bottom settings along with a very dense infill setting for printing at the edges. My initial test run used .2mm layer heights with 100% density for about four hours (over 240mm wide) while my first full-sized print.
