<p>This print was contracted by the Australian Institute of Marine Science. It's a map of Queensland, Australia. The map was created using the bathymetry data from DeepReef.</p> <p>Map to scale:</p> <ul> <li>Horizontal = From West to East, the map is approximately 1900km.</li> <li>Vertical = From the deepest ocean to the tallest mountain, this map is only 8km tall.</li> </ul> <p>Greyscale image scale:</p> <ul> <li>Black = -6000m</li> <li>White = 2000m</li> </ul> <p>The coastline is exactly at 2/3 of the total height.</p> <p>Source:</p> <ul> <li>Bathymetry: <a href="https://eatlas.org.au/data/uuid/200aba6b-6fb6-443e-b84b-86b0bbdb53ac">https://eatlas.org.au/data/uuid/200aba6b-6fb6-443e-b84b-86b0bbdb53ac</a></li> <li>png23d: <a href="http://kyllikki.github.io/png23d/">http://kyllikki.github.io/png23d/</a></li> <li>Blender: <a href="https://www.blender.org/">https://www.blender.org/</a></li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.1mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>This print is quite large (155mm x 156mm). I recommend cranking up the bed temperature and using brim for printing, to avoid warping.</p> <p>Be ready to wait for a very long time! This print took 31 hours 24 minutes to complete on my 3D printer.</p> <p>If you want to do a multi-colours print like mine, try to calculate a proper Z scale / layer height which will put the 0 (coastline) between 2 layers. The settings I used for my print:</p> <ul> <li>Z scale: 87.64940239%</li> <li>Z height of the first blue layer: 6.7mm</li> <li>Z height of the first sky blue layer: 16.6mm</li> <li>Z height of the first orange layer (coastline): 19.9mm</li> </ul> <p>Please share your results!</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <ol> <li>I created a greyscale image from the Bathymetry, using GeoServer. This step can also be done using QGis or ArcMap.</li> <li>I created a STL file from the greyscale image using the png23d library.</li> <li>I engrave the client logos under the map using Blender.</li> </ol> <p>Note: Blender is a free CAD program. It's very powerful but it can be hard to use at first. I strongly recommend learning and using Blender for your 3D projects since it produce error free STL files, ready for 3D printing.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Models
