This is my first prototype of a 3D carve from a topographical map. This one is in pine and I learned a lot from a few mistakes. The goal is to carve them in walnut.
What program did you use to get the topographic map? I'm having trouble finding one for a school project.

This is completely amazing. Is there any way I could buy one from you?

Super cool. Few questions...
-What size bit did you use?
-Did you import this as an SVG? Or did you bring it into Fusion360 or other 3d software and export the G-Code from there?

Hi- I did two passes- the first cut with a 1/2 inch bit. The second pass with a 1/8 inch ball mill. I captured the stl file from the website above and imported that into MeshCam. That’s where I set up the bits and paths. I export each pass from there in gcode and then into Easel.
