Questions about Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley
Where is Ubehebe Crater?
Ubehebe Crater is in Death Valley at 37.0100, -117.4600. The model covers a 5 by 5 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Ubehebe Crater model?
The land in this model runs from 647 to 1,129 m (482 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Ubehebe Crater?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 33.9 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 Ubehebe Crater 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 Ubehebe Crater 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 Ubehebe Crater 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 Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley 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 5 by 5 kilometer square centered on 37.0100, -117.4600. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:33,300. 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.
