5,199 m of mountain, 25 mm on your shelf

The print covers 39 by 39 km. On a 160 mm print the summit stands 25 mm above the valleys.

Mount Kenya model, low angle
  • Taller than life

    The print opens with the Elevation multiplier at 2, so the mountain stands 2 times its true height and its shape reads clearly at this size. Set it to 1 for true scale.

  • The trail

    The Sirimon route 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 Kenya

Mount Kenya is the second-highest mountain in Africa. Its highest peaks are Batian (5,199 m, 17,057 ft), Nelion (5,188 m) and Point Lenana (4,985 m), and it lies just 16.5 km (10.3 mi) south of the equator.

Mackinder, Ollier and Brocherel first reached the summit of Batian on 13 September 1899. The mountain is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Sirimon route

The Sirimon route approaches the peaks from the north, where the Sirimon river flows off the mountain.

The print draws it from OpenStreetMap, and the mountain prints at twice its true height on this wide footprint.

Common questions

Is the Mount Kenya 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 Sirimon route on the print?

Yes. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route (22 km as mapped) and raises it on the terrain. The footprint is 39 by 39 km, centered on the summit and wide enough for all of it.

Is the mountain printed at its true height?

It starts at 2 times its true height, about 25 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.
