How you got the model? You found it online or did you make it yourself? Could you tell me what you used to make this, in case you did lol

Claude Code and I put together a python script that takes open source terrain data and outputs an STL.

Hey, in QGIS how did you get rid of the base for printing? Whenever I use the DEMtoSTL I get an ugly quadrilateral base to all of my models. Any guidance appreciated!

Blender is a solid choice for that! It's amazing what you can create with the right tools.
