Olympus Mons 1000km Collectible mountain

thingiverse

The biggest mountain in the solar system (at least the biggest one you can easily find DEM data for), Olympus Mons is found on Mars. This is a special edition collectible mountain. It is 100 times larger than the regular 10km size It wouldn't make a very interesting print because it is so large and flat, it is neat for comparison. See instructions tab for how to make your own Martian landscapes. Instructions Here is how to make your own martian model: Download the DEM data as a Jpeg from http://www.mapaplanet.org/. Set the resolution to 118.54 px/deg which sets the scale to 0.5 km/px, or 59.235 px/deg which gets you 1km/px Crop as desired in photoshop Convert jpeg to stl using http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:110904 Scale the height in Blender. This is a bit arbitrary unless you are modeling something like Olympus Mons for which the height is readily available. There should be someway to get the height calibration from the meta-data like you can with terrestrial GIS, but I haven't figured it out yet.
