This model is of the island of Lundy, United Kingdom. Lundy is a small island off the coast of Devon: https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/lundyisland/ .The model uses LIDAR Point Cloud Data, which is very detailed and also has x,y and z to scale.
I created this model using point cloud data as I was unhappy with the definition of online terrain STL generators. The data used to make this was very high definition, I could even make out individual buildings as shown on the point cloud screenshot above, though I had to simplify this for the final model.
I did not make this to any particular scale but I calculate it to be around: 1:35652
I printed this at 0.16mm layer height for the island and 0.28mm for the base.
I have detailed below how I made this model in case this interests anyone.
