The Netherlands - flooded

thingiverse

I've recreated this Dutch height map - see it at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:688610. Now, here's what happens if all of The Netherlands' dikes break, showing massive floods. \nNext step for me is printing out a full version; in the meantime, take a look at these images below. Heights in this map are intentionally kept very small since scaling them to real sizes would only result in a thickness of about 0.2 millimeters on a standard build platform. The layer where the water level comes in, should be scaled at roughly 1 mm. Please remember that actual dikes have different structures so they look totally unrealistic in this model! I would love it if some people could give this map a go with their printers; any photos of completed prints would make me super happy!
