Lascar Volcano Plus Aguas Calientes - Chile

thingiverse

Lascar Stratovolcano was transformed into an imposing structure through the SRTM2STL conversion process, leveraging precise SRTM data collected during Space Shuttle missions. Situated directly to Lascar's right lies Aguas Calientes, a majestic but inactive Stratovolcano that complements its powerful neighbor in this detailed map representation. Despite the absence of distortion due to scaling up the map by 1.0 factor, it still radiates an air of dramatic presence. Engineers have kindly made the source code for producing such files publicly accessible under the GNU license on GitHub; simply navigate to the platform and enter "SRTM2STL" into your search query to access the code. It's worth noting that for optimal results when printing these large-scale representations, it may be wise to opt for a print size that is not overly expansive. Some users have encountered issues with warping, especially during attempts at printing bigger Raised Relief Maps using PLA material. While there are reports of moderate success in managing and correcting this problem with bigger maps, precise control over warping remains elusive, underscoring the potential value of exploring additional solutions for more stable printing outcomes.
