printing terrain 3d model?

[jthatch.com] I ran across a website that converts terrain to an .STL file, unfortunately, it does not work for me. Has anyone else been able to use this? [jthatch.com]

I get it to the area I want, then hit convert, but I get no file or clue where to look for the .STL

I recently went there too. It downloaded a file called stls.zip into my default Downloads directory.

However, the downloaded file was no use to me; it didn't contain a valid STL, just 2 triangles. To be fair, I'd asked for a download of Ross Island in the Antarctic, which was always going to be difficult to get. The project's issues site has similar complaints about lack of coverage.

Thanks for the comment, I have searched my computer and find no files, beginning to think that I have a setting or firewall or popup blocker that is keeping it out. If I at least got a poor file I could move on, but nothing? It seems to be generating a file, but I do not receive it or any confirmation.

I changed to foxfire and it worked for me.
