  • True scale

    The print opens at true scale: the mountain is as tall as it really is for the print size. Raise the Elevation multiplier for a more dramatic model.

  • The trail

    The Mount Whitney Trail 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 Whitney

Mount Whitney is the highest point in the contiguous United States, at 14,505 feet (4,421 m), in California's Sierra Nevada. Its west slope is in Sequoia National Park and its eastern slopes are in Inyo National Forest.

The summit is also the southern end of the John Muir Trail, which runs 211.9 miles (341 km) from Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley.

The Mount Whitney Trail

The Mount Whitney Trail starts at Whitney Portal, 13 miles (21 km) west of the town of Lone Pine. The hike is 21.4 miles (34.4 km) round trip with over 6,100 feet (1,860 m) of climbing.

It is so popular that a quota limits access from May to October. The print draws the trail from OpenStreetMap up the east side.

Common questions

Is the Mount Whitney 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 Mount Whitney Trail on the print?

Yes. Print this mountain adds it from its OpenStreetMap route (17 km as mapped) and raises it on the terrain. The footprint is 12 by 12 km, centered on the summit and wide enough for all of it.

Is the mountain printed at its true height?

Yes, it starts at true scale, about 32 mm of relief on a 160 mm print. Raise the Elevation multiplier 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.
