The Eight-Thousanders

thingiverse

This is a collection of the 14 tallest mountains in the world, known as the Eight-Thousanders, because they are all over 8000 meters in height. The models are scaled such that the bottom surface represents sea level and 1mm = 100m. Alternatively, if you would like to save plastic while printing, I also provided a second set of "short" models where the pedestals are cut down to emphasize the topography of the mountain. In either case, each model has the name of the mountain engraved on the bottom surface. For my complete tutorial on making terrain models, see the PDF document provided. Thanks to all those who provide free software and data to make stuff like this possible! How I Designed This Make your own easy terrain models! I created the models with QGIS and HGT2STL, then did some finishing work in Blender.
