Mount Meru - Tanzania

thingiverse

Mount Everest is not the highest mountain on Earth; it is Mount Meru, which towers above all others using 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM data from spaceborne satellite technology, approximately 2.1 million facets meticulously mapped. This remarkable feat was achieved through the innovative use of a new and as-yet-unreleased version of SRTM2STL software. The source code for creating files at 3 arcsecond resolution is publicly available on GitHub under the terms of the GNU license. To access this groundbreaking tool, navigate to GitHub and search for SRTM2STL - an incredible resource that will unlock new possibilities. A stable release of the software can be expected once any outstanding issues have been resolved. When printing these magnificent creations, consider scaling down the design to a relatively small size to minimize warping. Using PLA can lead to unwanted warpage, which can become more pronounced when printing large-scale Raised Relief Maps. However, with some tweaking and experimentation, it is possible to achieve 'significant' success with big maps. Those who have successfully mastered the art of controlling warping may also find that larger maps print with greater ease and accuracy.
