About STL
Map of Nigeria in STL — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
STL (Standard Tessellation Language) is the standard 3D printing format. Buildings and terrain are exported as a triangulated mesh ready for slicing software. The model arrives sized for the print bed: 200 mm along the longest side, with real millimetres inside the file.
Which layers are in the file
The set of layers depends on the selected area.
