Gulf of Mexico - Dual Color

thingiverse

Topography and bathymetry of the Gulf of Mexico at 3x vertical exaggeration in a dual-color extrusion. One STL file for above sea level, another below sea level. Derived from STRM30_Plus topography/bathymetry (http://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/srtm30_plus.html). Original source was here, but link seems to be down: http://gcoos.tamu.edu/products/topography/Introduction.html I thought it made more sense to have the colors run throughout the model, rather than putting sea level topography on top as another layer. Instructions Printed with a raft, two shells, and a 15% infill. Infill helps with both structural strength and to provide enough support for the flat areas of the topography. Pictured model printed on a FlashForge Creator Pro with Hatchbox ABS filament in blue and green at .2 mm. Printing just the bathymetry looks very cool, too!
