About Komodo, Indonesia
Komodo National Park (Indonesian: Taman Nasional Komodo) is a national park in Indonesia within the Lesser Sunda Islands in the border region between the provinces of East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara. The park includes the three larger islands—Komodo, Padar and Rinca—and 26 smaller ones, with a total area of 1,733 km2 (669 sq mi), with 603 km2 (233 sq mi) of it land. The park was founded in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard. Later it was dedicated to protecting other species, including marine species. In 1991 the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve. It is considered one of the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots.

Questions about Komodo, Indonesia
Where is Komodo?
Komodo is in Indonesia at -8.5500, 119.4900. The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Komodo model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 803 m (803 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Komodo?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 17 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:133,300. 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 Komodo model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Komodo 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 Komodo terrain model good for?
People use it as a memento of a park visit, a gift for a hiker or a classroom model.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Komodo, Indonesia from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. 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 model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on -8.5500, 119.4900. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are exaggerated 2× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
