It'd be ace if I could 3d print the moon at some sensible scale. Or Mars.



They wouldn't be that interesting. Planetary sized bodies are really spherical (oblate of course.) Even Olympus Mons at 22 km height is only 0.3% of Mars's diameter of 6700 km. If your Mars model was a meter wide, the biggest mountain would protrude for all of 3 mm worth of relief on the surface.


1:1 would be good. Now, where could I find a model like that..
