While conducing research to verify historic records of Homeric Troy’s walls and strata using radiocarbon dating and modern technology, l came across a map of Odyssey’s journey. I thought the map would have been a useful companion when I read The Odyssey, and was inspired to fabricate a large-scale model as an interactive educational tool. My final project will be a 3D physical map of the route Odysseus traveled in The Odyssey, with LEDs to light up the paths taken and places visited, narrated by my recorded voiceovers. The map is 3D-printed, painted, and now has dyed epoxy resin replicating water. I’ve completed re-reading the text, and identified the locations of each place he visited on a modern map of Southern Europe. I 3D-printed the map by splitting it into a 6x2 grid squares to fit on the print bed of a Bambu X1 Carbon. I’ve finished the first round of painting on each of the sections, however, they still need to be contoured, and detailed with model greenery. To 3D-print the models, I download topographic data from various public sources and imported the Geotiff file into 3DEM to convert it to a DEM file. From there, I imported it into AccuTrans3D to turn the DEM into an OBJ so I could 3D-print it. Lastly, I raised the model by 1.5mm to leave room for the resin it will be filled with later, and sent it to the printer! My next steps are to 3D print models (ex. Circe’s mansion, Scylla, Odysseus’s palace, etc.) to illustrate each stop on his adventures, and finsihe with an LED-lit path.
