True dip model

prusaprinters

A simple geologic block model showing an inclined marker bed. The block contains two faces that are cut perpendicular to the strike of the marker bed. These are the surfaces on which true dip can be measured. Use this model together with block models where there are no faces that are oriented perpendicular to the strike of the marker bed.These models would typically require the use of a dual-extrusion printer and can be printed in a variety of materials. PLA has been our choice and has worked well for us. The dual-extruder printer files folder contains two .stl files. The marker bed and body files can be merged in the printing software and get assigned different colors. It is of course also possible to print the pieces individually and glue them together as well! The second folder, named “single-extruder printer files”, contains each of the pieces that can be printed separately.
