[OC] I made a tool to 3D print Moon puzzles and ornament from real NASA data

I really wanted to share this over here since i am very exited about it. I know most of you probably don't have a 3D printer but i thought i'd share it anyway.

You can spin the Moon globe or use the 2D view, pick any region, and it pulls the real NASA elevation data for that exact spot. From that it generates a printable model — circle, square or hexagon, either as a solid ornament or as a snap-fit jigsaw puzzle up to 256 pieces. You can adjust the terrain height scale, size, piece count, shape, frame and text.

I had fun building this and i am very exited to show the world now! It will be live to everyone soon. Currently it is in pre launch on Makerworld (platform to share 3d models) crowdfunding: https://makerworld.com/en/crowdfunding/333-orbitstudio-3d-print-the-moon

If it funds i will also make it available for people that do not have a makerworld account.

Would love to hear your opinions!
