Topographical Heatmap of r/place

thingiverse

The elders of the internet devs and admins of reddit had some fun this April first with the introduction of r/place. It's a community generated masterpiece where each user was permitted to place one pixel of any color they choose on a canvas every five or ten minutes. At first there was noise, and from that noise there was chaos, and from that chaos there was order... and memes. https://www.reddit.com/r/place/ This 3D thing is an extruded heatmap of each pixel's activity for the full 72 hours of r/place. Higher points represent the most active pixel areas. A 16px Gaussian blur was added before 3D extrusion. Source heatmap was generated by /u/opl_ Print Settings Notes: Three versions are provided. The only difference between them is the amount of polygons. The "full" version has nearly 1 million triangles, and should scale up quite nicely for you non-bamboozlers. Files are 200mm square, however I scaled my print in the picture to 50% in Slic3r.
