Tectonic Plate Boundary Models

The By-Color and AMS profiles are back online! Thanks to Auré for the print photo and fixing mistakes, and user_3641663245 for testing the AMS profiles. UPDATE 04/03/2025: New By-Color Profiles Added!I’ve added new By-Color Profiles that allow you to print each color separately without needing an AMS. Each color is printed as an individual piece and then assembled using glue. I manually adjusted each model so that all parts sit flat on the print bed. This is more approachable for non-ams users and uses way less filament than with the color changing of an ams.IntroductionThis model shows the four main types of plate movements. I was inspired by my geography teacher’s lessons on tectonic plates and how they shape our planet over millions of years. The idea of massive plates moving and creating incredible forces fascinated me, so I decided to bring this concept to life through a detailed 3D model. To make the project as educational as possible, I worked closely with my teacher to ensure a
