3D print Mount Everest and the Everest Base Camp Trek
Mount Everest on one print, with the Everest Base Camp Trek raised in orange on the terrain. Open it in the generator, change the size or colors, and export a slicer-ready 3MF.
Everest Base Camp Trek
- Start
- Lukla
- End
- South Base Camp, by the Khumbu Glacier
- On the print
- 34 km inside the footprint, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
8,849 m of mountain, 32 mm on your shelf
The print covers 40 by 40 km. On a 160 mm print the summit stands 32 mm above the valleys.
- Taller than life
The print opens with the Elevation multiplier at 1.5, so the mountain stands 1.5 times its true height and its shape reads clearly at this size. Set it to 1 for true scale.
- The trail
The Everest Base Camp Trek prints as a raised 1.2 mm orange line, drawn from its OpenStreetMap route. Give it its own filament color, or turn it off on the GPX tab.
- Colors
Forest, meadow, bare rock, ice and water each get their own color where the land has them, so a multi-color printer shows where the trees give way to rock.
About Mount Everest
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth above sea level. A joint survey by Nepal and China measured it in 2020 at 8,848.86 m (29,032 ft). It lies in the Mahalangur Himal of the Himalayas, and its summit marks part of the border between Nepal and China.
The print is centered on the summit, which stands over the Khumbu Glacier, beside which climbers on the Nepalese side make their base camp.
The Everest Base Camp Trek
On the Nepalese side, climbers fly into Lukla and trek to the South Base Camp beside the Khumbu Glacier. From Lukla to the summit is about 6,000 m (20,000 ft) of climbing.
The print draws the trek from its four OpenStreetMap stages. Centered on the summit, it holds the upper part of the trek up to base camp; Lukla lies outside it.

Common questions
Is the Mount Everest 3D print free?
Yes. The generator runs in your browser and exports a 3MF file you can open in any common slicer. There is no account or payment.
Is the Everest Base Camp Trek on the print?
Partly. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route and raises it on the terrain, but the footprint is 40 by 40 km and centered on the summit, so it holds the upper part of the trek up to base camp, while Lukla and the lower valleys lie outside it.
Is the mountain printed at its true height?
It starts at 1.5 times its true height, about 32 mm of relief on a 160 mm print, because true scale looks flat at this size. Set the Elevation multiplier to 1 for true scale, or higher for a more dramatic model.
Can I get an STL instead of a 3MF?
The generator exports 3MF, which keeps each color as its own part. Any slicer can open it and save an STL if you need one.
