About Teide, Tenerife
Teide (Spanish: El Teide) or Mount Teide (Pico del Teide, pronounced [ˈpiko ðel ˈtejðe]; 'Peak of Teide') is an active stratovolcano on the Spanish island of Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands. Its summit (at 3,715 m (12,188 ft)) is the highest point in Spain and the highest of any island in the Atlantic Ocean. Measured from its base on the ocean floor, Teide reaches a total height of 7,500 m (24,600 ft), making it the third-tallest volcano in the world; UNESCO and NASA also rank it as Earth's third-tallest volcanic structure. Its elevation above sea level makes Tenerife the tenth-highest island in the world. Teide began forming approximately 170,000 years ago as a result of volcanic activity following a catastrophic landslide. Its base lies within the Las Cañadas caldera, the remains of an older, eroded, and extinct volcano, at an elevation of about 2,190 m (7,190 ft) above sea level.

Questions about Teide, Tenerife
Where is Teide?
Teide is in Tenerife at 28.2724, -16.6425. The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Teide model?
The land in this model runs from 320 to 3,672 m (3,353 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Teide?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 42.7 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 Teide 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 Teide 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 Teide 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 Teide, Tenerife 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 28.2724, -16.6425. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are exaggerated 1.5× 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.
