Description

This is the result of a little processing sketch i wrote. It takes any
bitmap heightfields like the one in the images and turns it into a stl file
that can be printed on a makerbot

Instructions

download and run the processing sketch from my blog post,
scale and rotate the stl object in blender
let blender remove the doublicate vertices to simplify the mesh

and print it on your 3D-Printer
