How it works
From a place on the map to a print on your build plate in four steps – no 3D software needed.
1
Pick your printer
Choose Bambu Lab A1 mini, X1, H2D, Prusa, Creality … or a custom plate. The model is sized to fit your build volume.
2
Draw the area
Drag a rectangle on the map, rotate it along a valley and fine-tune. Need bigger? Spread it over several plates.
3
Check it in 3D
Spin the model, adjust height exaggeration and base thickness, and choose detail from Draft to Ultra.
4
Download & print
Get the STL (or a zip of plates) and open it in your slicer. Every model is saved in your account for later.
Made with Topostl

1
Pick your printer
Bambu Lab A1 mini to H2D, Prusa, Creality, Voron or a custom plate. Your model is scaled to fit the build volume exactly.
2
Draw the area
Drag a rectangle, rotate it to follow a valley, and fine-tune position and size. Need bigger? Split it over several plates.
3
Check it in 3D
Spin the model in the 3D preview, adjust height exaggeration and base thickness until it looks right.
4
Download & print
Choose Draft to Ultra detail and download the STL (or a zip of plates). It's saved in My models for later.
What makes it different
Printer presets
Pick your printer by name – the model is sized to the plate automatically.
Rotate & fine-tune
Rotate the selection to any angle and nudge it with precise controls.
Multi-plate models
Large areas are split over plates with matching heights so the pieces join seamlessly.
Up to 1.1 M triangles
Ultra detail gives roughly one data point every 0.3 mm on a 256 mm plate.
1 m data in Norway
Norway uses the national 1 m terrain model from Kartverket. Elsewhere we use global elevation data (10–30 m).
Watertight meshes
Closed solids with flat bases, ready for any slicer without repair.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Which printers are supported?
Any FDM or resin printer – pick a preset (Bambu Lab A1 mini, A1, P1S, X1C, P2S, H2S, H2D, H2C, Prusa MK4/Core One/XL, Creality Ender-3/K1/K1 Max, Voron) or enter a custom build volume. The model is scaled to fit.
How detailed are the files?
Draft ≈ 56k triangles, Standard ≈ 170k, High ≈ 500k and Ultra ≈ 1.1 M per plate. On a 256 mm plate Ultra puts a data point about every 0.3 mm. Real detail is limited by the source data: 1 m in Norway, 10–30 m elsewhere.
How do I print a whole valley?
Increase "Plates across" and "Plates down". The area is split into tiles with identical scale and base level, so the pieces fit together. You get a zip with one STL per plate.
What scale will my model be?
It's shown in the summary (for example 1:35,000). Model size is chosen so the area fills your plate; use height exaggeration to bring out flat landscapes.
Can I use the models commercially?
Elevation data is open (Kartverket CC BY 4.0, Terrain Tiles open datasets). Please credit the data sources if you publish or sell prints. See "How it works".
Where are my models stored?
We store the settings and a preview of each model in your account; the STL is regenerated whenever you download it, so it's always at full quality.
Does it include buildings and trees?
Not yet – models show bare terrain (a digital terrain model). Buildings are on our wish list.
Something doesn't work
Try a smaller area or lower detail first. Very large areas and Ultra detail take longer to generate.
