Hawaii, USA (HI) Southeastern Islands Coastline Topographic Map

Hawaii, USA Southeastern Islands mountains and coastlines in a dual color topographic and hydrographic map! Part of the USA of Plastic topographic map collection. Unlike the Lower 48 US states I choose a different projection for Hawaii, using UTM zone 4N for a more accurate and realistic island shape. 

You can split the model into individual objects in your slicer to print each island separately.

Show off streams and coastlines with filament that is glow-in-the-dark, translucent, or simply a different color from the base.

Which files should you print? See ⭐ or 🌟 below:

The individual 3D printable 3MF files are cut for your convenience and fit together once printed. The files are in 3MF format instead of STL for smaller file size and in order to store separate land and coastline objects that are aligned for accurate dual color prints. 3MF is supported in Cura, PrusaSlicer, and other 3D slicers.

FileDescription
HI-dual.3mf ⭐Dual color model with land and coastline features.
HI-dual-transparent.3mf 🌟Dual color model with land and coastline features. Water features go all the way through the land for light transmission with transparent filaments.
HI-single.3mfSingle color model with land features made for single extrusion printers.
*If the file you need is not present, I have not created the models for this state yet. Follow me and comment with your request to get future additions and updates.

Recommended print settings

Print the models as is with a dual extrusion printer. If you have a single extrusion printer, you can either print the *-single.3mf model or run two single extrusion prints utilizing the Z-hop method on the hydrography model.

You can scale the model up or down as needed to fit your printer size, the final map's scale will just be scaled accordingly. E.g. 200% scale on a previous scale of 0.4mm:1000m results in 0.4mm:500m

Download the optimized Cura print settings profile for topo maps here.

Cura may automatically scale the model by 10000% so you need to Select All Models (Ctrl+A) and manually set the Scale to 100% and X/Y/Z position to 0,0,0 for the models to show correctly. Merge (Ctrl+Alt+G) objects in Cura if you rotate them.

Printing this will test your 3D printer's XY precision, Z-axis stability, retraction, cooling, and oozing!
