There are two free sites I have found.

1. https://touchterrain.geol.iastate.edu/ Easy to use, will cut the box into tiles if you want to do the print in sections, lets you set how big your print bed is.

2. http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/ Simpler, with less settings but definately not as nice to use as the first.

3. https://terrainator.com/ One more site that I haven't used as it's not free.
