Hokkaido and Aomori, Japan - Topographic Map
Description
PDF🇯🇵 Welcome to Northern Japan!
This is a simple map model, based on existing files shared by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. The source are maps of Hokkaido and Aomori prefectures in .OBJ format, high file weight and voxel appearance. Additions by Dany Sánchez for MiniWorld3D include combining both prefectures into a single map, adjustments to the elevations, a circular “platform” representing the sea, adding labels, simplifying the mesh to reduce weight, and optimizing heights for printing in colors at different layer heights.
This can be printed in colors easily, not only with MMU/AMS but also with a standard printer by pausing and changing filament at certain heights, which is how the one in our photo was made. This helps greatly to highlight the topographic features of the islands, which is known to be magnificent.
Simply slice and select where to add a color change. You can add as many as you want, see our example for ideas:
blue > green > dark green > white
The elevation is exaggerated for ease of visualization with colors and 3D printing at this scale.
MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this historical model to life as a homage to all the people of Aomori and Hokkaido. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!

No supports
Infill: 15%, lightning pattern
Try interesting top fill patterns like concentric or hilbert curve.
Start with blue for the sea, then it is possible to do many changes as elevation continues, or just one to simplify things, up to you.

Model origin
The author remixed this model.
Differences of the remix compared to the original
Combined two different prefecture maps into one, added a circular ocean base, fixed elevation proportions, optimized for pausing and changing colors at different layer heights, added labels and north pointer.
