Terrain fridge magnets

Relief maps of Greek islands and Meteora, printed in PLA with a magnet glued underneath.

Terrain relief of Meteora as a 3D model

Each magnet is a small topographic relief of a place in Greece, made with TouchTerrain. It turns elevation data into an STL; I set a 3 mm base and exaggerated the height so the relief stands out.
