Show HN: Turn GPS tracks into 3D-Printed mountains
- belforn 11y agoHi, this is Bernat, 3D printing designer... we launched nicetrails to create unique trophies for mountaineers and outdoor sport activities. the idea is: 1. Upload a GPS track (.gpx) 2. View the trail in 3D 3. Choose map style: satellite / snow 4. Order your trophy (3D Print in full color) are you a hiker? biker? trail runner? I'd like your feedback, you can try to upload a .GPX file and see if all looks as expected. *no need to register I hope you like it. Cheers from Barcelona!
- wyldfire 11y agoThis is super neat. Is the vertical scale fixed? Midwestern US hills are a challenge to bike IMO but probably not impressive when compared w/these fantastic alpine landscapes.
- chatmasta 11y agoThis is extremely creative and cool. Nice job!
- tgasson 11y agoNice work. I'm getting a timeout on http://app.nicetrails.com/api/createXML3D_base_noUV_nobase_UV.php http://app.nicetrails.com/api/createXML3D_base_noUV_nobase_U... when trying to upload my own .gpx
- belforn 11y agoStrange, After uploading it should load the viewer instantly... Please try to upload again from here: http://www.nicetrails.com/app/ http://www.nicetrails.com/app/
- prbuckley 11y agoI would love to use something like this to capture a ski day. If I could just turn on a mobile app at the beginning of the day to track my route and then export from the app that would be sharp. Maybe integration with Strava and other such apps?
- stuart78 11y agoLove this. Wish my recent hikes were more ambitious (and thusly deserving of memorialization)!
- drbild 11y agoThis is super cool. Too bad 3D printing is still so expensive.
- belforn 11y agoright, that's the main drawback... :( specially because 3Dprinting prices escalate volumetrically... which means that something double the size is not twice expensive, but like eight times more expensive...
