3D print Copernicus crater on the Moon

The whole crater on one print: the stepped inner walls, the peaks in the middle and the blanket of debris around the rim, from elevation data measured by lunar orbiters.

About Copernicus crater

Copernicus is an impact crater 96 km (60 mi) across on the near side of the Moon, about 10 degrees north of the equator. Its floor lies more than 4,000 m (13,100 ft) below its rim, and a cluster of peaks rises about a kilometer from the middle of the floor.

It is young for the Moon. Its bright rays lie on top of everything around them, and Apollo 12 samples thought to come from the crater date the impact to about 800 million years ago. The crater is named for the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
