May I suggest to do a CAM video of this file to complement it? It would be helpful to show users how to get to a final product now that we know how to get the file we need to produce it. Love the channel so far! Please keep up the excellent work!
Im guessing you may have missed the part about a minute in where I say I'll be doing a follow video for creating all the tool paths 🤣 Thank you for the kind words though, glad you like the channel 😁
Great video and great possibilities with this program. I just ran in to this video, that is already 13 days old. I have to look if the next video has already been released. I'm very curious what the execution times will be. Hours or even days.....
Cheap way to make this large scale for tables/huge game boards Say you want to replicate your hometown: 1. file from touch terrain, choose the 300mm size. 2. Put the mesh into meshmaker, go to transform, and scale to the size you want. 3. Use the plane cut tool cut your map into pieces that fit on your print bed. 4. Print each piece on its side standing up. Use five bottom layers, no top layers, 1, wall loops, 1% linear aligned infill. 5. Print the piece out and pour plaster Paris on inside the piece through the open side. 6. Assemble all pieces on a wood board, glue pieces together. Oggle at your masterpiece of the most detailed map/game board you can make.👍
After filming someone pointed out to me I was pronouncing it wrong so I tried to cover my self with a note on screen about 26 seconds in 😆. Thanks for the kind words, glad you find my content useful 👍
great tutorial, it comes at the right time for me. I program my cnc with fusion360 and for this kind of engraving fusion is very slow. I can't wait to see your trick for programming this type of engraving. I hope your tutorial will be made with free software.
Thank you. Sadly no, the only free software I know of that can do this is Fusion360 but I use Carveco Maker myself. It does cost $15 a month but you can take an STL file like this and do all the CAM work in a matter of minutes so whilst it has a cost it makes life easier and saves you time
@@JamesDeanDesigns yes, that's what I thought. I need to find the right strategies for machining in 2.5D. It's also a shame that fusion 360 doesn't do inlays.
@@JamesDeanDesigns will you have the opportunity to test the ttc 450 from twotrees? it would be great to have a comparison with the saintsmart 4040 pro and the foxalien masuter pro 😘
Awesome project James, question.. (I’m using fusion 360 CAM with UGS) there is something at the beginning of the Gcode generated by fusion 360 that my machine doesn’t like, at the start of every project my z limit switch is triggered and locks the machine. I’ve been working around this by turning off my hard limits and the code runs just fine, but of course at the end of the cut the machine jams passed the x limit switch and crashes to a stop no doubt messing up my steps and potentially damaging the machine. I circumvent this by stopping the program after the cut manually moments before the crash. How to find that rogue z limit triggering Gcode that fusion 360 is generating every time and eliminate it from the file?
Funktioniert so einfach nicht. Sehe andere Details. Die „Satelliten“ Ansicht ist auch garnicht erst verfügbar. Nur über maps Dienste, die kostenpflichtig sind. 👎🏼

I always respect people who share their knowledge and experience.. Appreciate it man
Glad to help 👍

Watching your videos when the wife and kids are around is not ideal 😅
Great Stuff James! Your videos are definitely some of my favorites for understanding how to setup and finesse Carveco!
Great to hear!
Awesome video, thanks. I did a trest run and my 3D preview image is a negative from what is expected. Valleys are raised and mountains are recessed
Great video and great possibilities with this program. I just ran in to this video, that is already 13 days old. I have to look if the next video has already been released.
I'm very curious what the execution times will be. Hours or even days.....
When is the follow up coming out? Great video, thanks!
THANK YOU! Been killing myself trying to make these from data sources. Do you have a video on finishing these 3D carves?
Not yet, will be making one soon on it
Great video! Thank you! Looking forward to the next phase of these…
Fantastic video as always. I can’t wait to see the rest of the series

Hi James great video when are you posting the 2nd part
Awesome as always! Also, pronounced like "Ray Near." I see it on the way to work most days. 🙂
After filming someone pointed out to me I was pronouncing it wrong so I tried to cover my self with a note on screen about 26 seconds in 😆.
Thanks for the kind words, glad you find my content useful 👍
Amazing, I was looking for this exact topo map style
Glad I could help
Hi James when do we get the second part ?
This is brilliant 👏
Very cool, thanks for this. Would this work in an urban setting with buildings, by any chance?
I dont believe it does sadly 😕
I create high resolution elevation models, as low as 50cm grid!
I love your accent. What area of Britain are you from? Might be a silly question but I'm from Germany and not familiar with British accents.
Sir how can we convert this file as 3D step file for CFD purpose?

how to create countours between states and crountries? ive seen a guy doing this and dont know how
If we can't pronounce Gloucester then we won't mind if you can't pronounce Rainier.
🤣
Well done and thanks
Awesome video! Thanks.
That was s big help ...

In the Fusion 360 post processor screen:
Expand "safe retracts and home positioning"
Change "safe retracts" to "clearance height"
@@techydiy nice! Will try this!
Thank you as I wouldn't have known the answer for that 😁
PIty, not available for Europe.
It is, available worldwide. Just select a worldwide data source like the 3rd one down
Just select Elevation Data source: AW3D30 at the top set of options instead of default DEM. Everything works like a charm.

Not sure if its a translation issue but what doesn't work? Everything in my video works
