About Crater Lake, Oregon
Crater Lake (Klamath: Giiwas) is a volcanic crater lake in south-central Oregon in the Western United States. It is the main feature of Crater Lake National Park and is a tourist attraction known for its deep blue color and water clarity. The lake partly fills a 2,148-foot-deep (655 m) caldera that was formed around 7,700 (± 150) years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. No rivers flow into or out of the lake; the evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate such that the total amount of water is replaced every 150 years. With a depth of 1,949 feet (594 m), the lake is the deepest in the United States. In the world, it ranks eleventh for maximum depth, as well as fifth for mean depth.

Questions about Crater Lake, Oregon
Where is Crater Lake?
Crater Lake is in Oregon, USA at 42.9446, -122.1090. The model covers a 10 by 10 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Crater Lake model?
The land in this model runs from 1,707 to 2,483 m (776 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.
Can I 3D print Crater Lake?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 16.6 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:66,700. 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 Crater Lake model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans at 1 to 10 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Crater Lake 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.
What is a Crater Lake terrain model good for?
People use it as a geology lesson you can hold, a classroom model or a desk piece.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Crater Lake, Oregon from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.
The model covers a 10 by 10 kilometer square centered on 42.9446, -122.1090. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:66,700. The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
