×4 Vesta scaled one in ten million
This model is made by myself using MATLAB R2016a on the height map of the USGS site from the Dawn mission. On this scale the Moon is a basketball and Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos are 2 and 1 mm respectively. It's also included a one in four million scaled model for more details. In this scale the model is 14cm in diameter.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x * 10y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
Vesta is the second largest object in the main asteroid belt, the largest asteroid considering that Ceres as a dwarf planet is excluded from being an asteroid. It is one of the biggest object not hidrostaticaly relaxed, so that it is automatically excluded from being a dwarf planet. Its irregular shape is carved by many features like the south pole Rheasilvia crater, and the multiple large equatorial fosae. Vesta is though to be a protoplanet, a remnant of a failed planet. It has a differenciated nucleus, which means that is was a planet primordial block, but its acretion was interrupted before the formation of a larger body.
