Mars

thingiverse

Mars is printing while i'm posting this thing. I used Blender to do this model. I used heightmap from this website : http://planetpixelemporium.com/mars5672.html I made a sphere, with a big subdivision, and used displacement modifier with the heightmap above. Voilà. My print is 60mm diameter, printing at 0.2 precision, with 60° support on touching builtplate only. Also I move up a little bit the model on Z axis. (With Cura you have to uncheck a parameter to do so). Infill is set to 20%, could be less. The printing duration is about 3h. There's no hole in this model like the moon (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4832282) because i didn't plan to light it up. I could post a version with a hole if needed.
