New 3D Print: Oahu 2.0
I was recently commissioned to re-3d-print my Oahu design from a year and a half ago. Since then I’ve built a bigger printer (the C-Bot), the terrain2stl software has been improved, I’ve gotten better at painting maps, and I built an X-Carve CNC. I’m quite pleased with the end results:
Stats:
- 3D printed in Makergeeks ‘Nuclear Green’ and ‘Soulful Blue’ PLA. I paused the print and swapped filament to change from water to land.
- From tip to tip, the 3d printed part is close to 14″ across.
- Sliced in Simpilfy3D: At 200 micron and 90mm\sec with a .4mm nozzle, it took around 7 hours to print.
- Modeling for both the map and the blue acrylic was done in Autodesk Maya.
- Terrain was captured via terrain2stl.
- The blue acrylic was cut on my X-Carve CNC, toolpath generated by Easel, took maybe 10 minutes.
- After print, I sponged on dark green spray-paint, and after drying, light brown on the mountain tops.
- The models height is scaled up 2x to exaggerate the terrain.

If this is something you’d like in your home (or any other map) let me know and we can work something out.
