The print covers 10 by 10 km. On a 160 mm print the summit stands 31 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 Gran Cono path 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 Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius is a somma–stratovolcano on the Gulf of Naples, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples, rising to 1,281 m (4,203 ft). Its eruption in 79 AD destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum and other Roman towns.

It is a large cone partly ringed by the steep rim of an older summit caldera, and it last erupted in 1944.

The Gran Cono path

The Gran Cono path, Sentiero 5, climbs the great cone to the rim of the crater, where vents still give off steam.

The print draws it from OpenStreetMap around the crater rim.

Common questions

Is the Mount Vesuvius 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 Gran Cono path on the print?

Yes. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route (5.7 km as mapped) and raises it on the terrain. The footprint is 10 by 10 km, centered on the summit and wide enough for all of it.

Is the mountain printed at its true height?

It starts at 1.5 times its true height, about 31 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.
