Hi Franck, I exported a .dxf file, and the guy used it to convert it for printing. If you can get a two tone color printing that would be the best since the printer has to print a support for the cave parts that are not at the lowest altitude (usually most of it and the support is larger than the cave). The best would be to use a material that will be removed (there is something that can be dissolved I think), so you would keep only the 3D print of the cave. Phil

Hello,
I was wondering if someone already tried to print some caves in 3D, using a 3D printer. Any input about how to get a .STL .OBJ .AMF or .3MF (which I know are 3D format for printer). If someone did a printing, any issue / success to share ? Like I guess any small narrow passage will be hard to print if the final print put some kind of pressure on it. Everything will depend of the scale obviously.
Anyway, maybe it’s just a dream but I thought it’ll be possible to do such a thing those days : ) Have a good evening everybody,
