Good find! I have printed terrain before. In the prints below you can see the glacial scraping that formed the land around Lake Tapps Washington for instance.

.. never anything like a gravitational model (the above print was lidar). I would like to know the vertical exaggeration as it has to be big. The stl file I downloaded does have some errors that you will need to fix before you print too. I will print one for myself, can I assume Gavin wants one as well?
