East Asia topographic map 东亚地形图

This topographic map of the East Asian continent was created to assist children in comprehending geographical knowledge related to terrain. There is a dearth of distinct topographic maps on the market, and the terrain on globes is not sufficiently prominent to enable children to grasp the distinction between plateaus and plains. However, this topographic map allows them to intuitively understand why Northeast China and Henan are conducive to agriculture, why the road into Tibet is so arduous, why Sichuan is so picturesque and suitable for habitation, and why Xinjiang is so prosperous. It was only after seeing this topographic map that I realized why the mountains in Taiwan are so prominent in the southeast, why the Northeast Plain is so expansive, and that India's actual geographical conditions may be more fertile than China's.

However, there is a shortcoming with this map. The accuracy is insufficient, resulting in an inability to depict Shanghai as land, regardless of the adjustments made. Despite printing at the highest resolution, with a height of 0.08, it remains invisible. The solution may lie in stereolithography printing, but this method poses challenges for printing such a large area, particularly in color.

The four colors of AMS are far from adequate. I have employed AMS in conjunction with intermediate material changes to achieve seven-color printing. From the base to the mountain peaks, the colors are as follows:

0 layer, commence with a gray base
8 layers transition to blue, the color of the ocean
14 layers transition to white, coastal regions of the land
15 layers transition to light blue, low-altitude inland areas
17 layers transition to dark blue, inland mountain ranges, hills, and other prominent landforms
45 layers transition to gray, mountains, approximately 2000 meters above the plateau
81 layers transition to black, approximately 4000 meters above the plateau
93 layers transition to white, approximately the snow line
98 layers transition to red, approximately the summit

Please note that the topographic map is intended solely for educational demonstrations and has no national boundaries or cartographic purposes. Please refrain from misinterpreting its intent. This map merely extracts geographical landform information, devoid of any international political connotations.

If you lack AMS, you can utilize the East_Asia_topographic_map_NOAMS.3mf model, which already incorporates pause points. You can change the material at each pause.

由于需要给小朋友了解地形相关的地理知识，所以制作了这个东亚大陆地形图。市面上没有足够明显的地形图，地球仪上面的地形凹凸不够明显，无法让小朋友足够理解高原和平原的差别，但是这个地形图可以让他直观的了解为什么东北和河南适合种植，为什么进入西藏的路如此艰难，为什么四川如此美好适合生活，为什么新疆如此富饶。我自己也是看到这个地形图才了解到台湾岛的高山在东南地区如此突起，东北平原原来也很大，印度实际的地理条件可能比中国要更优沃。

但是这个地图有个问题，精度不是足够，导致无论如何调整，总是无法将上海展示为陆地，已经按最高分辨率打印，0.08的高度，依旧不显示，可能只能用光固化打印解决了，但是光固化很难打印这么大面积，以及彩色。

AMS的四色远远不够的，我使用了AMS加中间换料，实现了7种颜色打印，从下往山依次：

0层，开始灰色底板
8层换蓝色，海洋的颜色
14层换白色，陆地沿海地区
15层换浅蓝色，内陆低海拔地区
17层换深蓝色，内陆山脉，丘陵等主体地貌
45层换灰色，高山，大约2000米以上高原
81层换黑色，大约4000米以上高原
93层换白色，大约雪线
98层换红色，大约是顶级高峰

如果没有AMS，可以使用 East_Asia_topographic_map_NOAMS.3mf 模型，已经添加了暂停点，每次暂停换料即可。

注意地形图仅用作教学演示之用，没有任何国界或地图用途，请不要借题发挥，这里只是提取地理地貌信息，没有任何国际政治用意
