TouchTerrain_for_CAGEO
Touch Terrain: A python app to create 3D printable terrain models (STL/OBJ) from only elevation data (via Google Earth Engine) or from a local geotiff. Has been used for CNC terrain models. Runs as a web app (http://touchterrain.org), as .py file (standalone.py) or as jupyter notebook. Docker image: https://github.com/ChHarding/TouchTerrain_jupyter_docker

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
https://touchterrain.geol.iastate.edu/ (up to 10m resolution) and https://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/ (90m resolution) can be even simpler if you're just getting into it, and can produce awesome models, but they use lower resolution data sets... so they won't show the fine details that really pop. Lidar based datasets can get down to 1m resolution, or even lower for some datasets. It depends on the scale and size of the object you want to print, really. But having models of many of the peaks and canyons I've hiked, and now my local neighborhood and more... it's pretty awesome.
