Antarctica 3D model laser cut

Laser cut layers out of 3mm MDF

This is a 3D model of Antarctica relief as it is, with all the ice and land. Check out the other model that shows Antarctica without the ice, showing just the land mass that is under the ice: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3737243

- 2 x each layer
- 12 different layers
- each layer has an outline of the layer above so make stacking and gluing together easier
- PVA glue used to stick the layers together

when cut as in design with 3mm mdf, 7 500 000: 1 scale with approcimately 150:1 vertical exaggeration

tip: cut out the center of the layers to reduce the weight and material used.
