Yosemite's Cathedral Lakes Area 3d topo

myminifactory

This is an incredibly detailed 3d topographic map of the Cathedral Lakes and Budd Lake drainage. The file is so finely detailed that I divided it into four pieces and printed them separately and you still aren't capturing all the intricate details.\r\nThe photo shows the prints with the lakes colored in with blue marker. It's much easier to do this than messing with a dual extruder print, and it looks even better too.\r\nIt was created from a LIDAR dataset made available on http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/. The dataset is so finely detailed that you can see individual trees, but it needs to be severely reduced just to get part of it onto your computer.\r\nYou can watch my tutorial video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4-ICkvyJv0\r\nThis project was featured on the 3D Printing Today podcast available on iTunes, Stitcher radio or directly from the source at http://threedprintingtoday.libsyn.com/
