Earth’s Layers
Description
This model represents the main layers of the Earth. They are scaled to be comfortable to touch. Labels in braille are made to associate with each layer. Each label and Earth layer is a different .stl file. There is also a base in which to place all the pieces. The layers are: continental crust oceanic crust uppermost mantle molten asthenosphere solid asthenosphere mantle transition lower mantle molten core solid core This model was designed and tested as part of the 3D4VIP project.
Printing instructions and tips
Make sure the tags (files Eartht1 to Eartht9) are oriented upwards on the print bed so the Braille text is printed on a vertical plane as opposed to horizontally (i.e. the Braille faces the wall not the ceiling). None of the components require supports.
