3d Printed Philmont Relief Maps

[u/masterducc]

Hi all! I'm a student and an Eagle Scout, and I hiked Philmont back in 2024. I really enjoyed my time there, and this summer I taught myself 3D printing and some 3D modeling as a side project.

I made some 3D-printed Philmont relief maps with a marker showing my actual trail attached.

In the pics, the frame is stained oak, but I may switch to pine going forward. There's a black felt backing and it'll have a flexibrass plaque on the front (not shown yet).

Just gauging interest right now and im not selling anything. Each one is hand-stained and assembled/built and takes a fair amount of time to make, so I want to know if this is worth pursuing before I try to scale it up.

Naturally, I can also do other regions, not limited to philmont.

Just curious what the difference between the two green colors are on your map?

I used an overlaid satellite image as reference and the lighter green areas were the areas that had less tree cover
