After scouring the web for a nice displacement map of the UK I finally decided it was time to put the Orcabot to the test with some challenging contours. Using a bit of CAD wizardry I got an STL file with a little help from Rhino3d. So far so good.
After re-sizing for the bed and slicing on a 0.25mm layer SOLID I played the 3dprint.
And here is the result:

Now you can see just how useful a real object like this map would be for travelers, mountain climbers search and rescue. Potentially one could cut a portion of the relief bump map and scale it up then 3dprint a larger one. Here is another photo of the outline of the 3DPrintUK doing England.
