Can I 3D print Buachaille Etive Mòr?
Yes. Download the free Standard Resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 29.9 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:33,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Buachaille Etive Mòr model?
It is built from real elevation measurements: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. Each point of the grid covers about 20 m on the ground, so a single summit can read a little lower than its surveyed height. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Buachaille Etive Mòr model free?
The Standard Resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High Resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
How this model is made
Embossify Terra builds Buachaille Etive Mòr, Scotland from real measured elevation. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base. New to terrain printing? Read how Terra works.
