About GPXTrack.xyz
GPXTrack.xyz turns a GPS activity into a small display piece. You drag a GPX file from Strava, Garmin or another tracker onto the page, and it draws your route as a raised 3D line standing on a base with a text plate for a title such as a race name or date.
The controls are short: title text and font size, map rotation, a truncate slider to trim the ends of the track, base width and thickness, maximum track height, and an option for a slanted text plate. Colour pickers are only for the preview, so you assign filaments in your slicer if you want a two colour print. The result downloads as a 3MF.
Everything runs in your browser, so the GPX never leaves your computer, and the project is free and open source. It is a small tool, but it is a quick way to make a finisher gift for a runner or cyclist.

What you'll need to print it

- Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (formerly PolyTerra)The former PolyTerra line under a new name: soft matte look and good value for printing Gridfinity in bulk.

Silk PLA for vases and ornaments
