Not my thing, and while the satellite details seem limited they are free and from a reliable source — the mini landscapes look good too... When it comes to 3D printing, NASA certainly doesn’t want to be left out in the cold. A couple months ago, we learned that NASA was teaming with MakerBot to launch a ‘Mars Base Challenge‘. Then, a few weeks ago we reported that NASA had created the first full 3D model of Eta Carinae Nebula. Now, they are taking things a step further, with the release of 21 3D printable models via their website. |

Gale Crater printed in hard nylon and painted in oils. The detail of the NASA file in extra ordinary I think. More if go over to the ARC Real Space Modeling forum. Gale Crater are the last two pics posted. The previous ones require a different approach because of the 'grain.' |

Very impressive! It would be neat to use a model like this to notate/mark the path followed by Curiosity...(Also, it is difficult to see in the photo, but at that scale, collectSPACE crater might be just visible!) |

Thanks Robert for getting the pic up. Needs a little imagination but I think the collectSPACE crater is there. | |
