Just came across this the other day. Pretty sure some people here would be interested in this, Convert Geological Information into a Custom Map Fit for 3D Printing and Milling | Make:.
Let me know if you want to do this and need help with the mapping/GIS operations. I do that for a living.
This is really cool! I have wanted to give one of these a try for a while now. 150+ hours seems pretty reasonable for the whole united states lol. Wouldn’t in be cool to have an entire 10’x25’ wall of the world in a relief map carved by CNC!
That’s very cool. Definitely on my bucket list. Not only is that map cool, but check out that Krenov cabinet!
Roger - I just may take you up on that, my parents have acreage in central Kentucky and one of the things that I wanted to do was create a 3D map w\ the XCarve of their property, since that area of the country is very hilly and has some interesting geographical features. I am going to walk thru the article and I may just hit you up for some help on getting the topo data for that region.
Thanks! This is a great article
You betcha. If I can help you, I’m happy to do so.
