Hello and many thanks for the video which i followed mostly untill when you come to laser it out,firstly when you were in inkscape after each layer did you save them because when you come to cut them out you just went straight to grbl and imported files from where? its driving me crazy cos i loved the video so much and unable to cut out my own maps many thanks

[@CasualDIY]

Yes saved them separate on my hard drive.

[@charlie-oe2zb]

This is Awesome. Can I ask which wood you use, is it just normal ply?

[@CasualDIY]

Sometimes normal ply, but usually a ply that is designed for laser cutters

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

Nice one,well done, prefer the black frame as well, makes it pop, and of course you can also colour the roads and so on. Once thing I do often is use a Topographical map from online sources and then create a contour based map of your chosen area and then overlay some of this data as well for a real 3d experience. The final maps look superb.

[@CasualDIY]

Nice one 👍

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, Tomasz! Fantastic work! 😃 Some day I'm definitely going to try it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@CasualDIY]

Thank you kindly. Its a great tool worth having 👍 All the best

[@worgaz]

You just got me excited about a laser project...what was the wood material you used? Did I miss that? Do you see a benefit using something else?

[@CasualDIY]

I'm using 3mm plywood for this project. I think for this particular map 3mm ply works great as its not too thick as you put the layers together or to thin. If for example I only had 2 layers I could have used 4mm but anything thicker than that would just look strange I think

[@stuarthawthorne87]

Brilliant well done looks great, what lazer do you think is best out of all of them you have tried

[@CasualDIY]

If you don't consider the price then this one the Atezr P10. Great cutting and engraving capacity plus built in air assist intake. If you are looking for something in the mid price range then Longer Ray5 with 10W module or Ortur Laser Master 2Pro with 10W module. If you are on a super tight budget then the Atomstack A5 Pro+ with 5W power module - good for engraving but cutting perfornance not as good as the 10W modules obviously.

[@stuarthawthorne87]

@Casual DIY great thank you that's a good help 👍

[@VuTran-h3l]

Good map as it helps me getting so close to what I like to do. I am struggling with making and connecting the "frame" look to the highway layer. Can you clarify? Thanks.

[@CasualDIY]

I've used Inkscape to sort that out. You can connect any open areas or close them off.

[@VuTran-h3l]

@@CasualDIY Thanks for the response. I am using Inscape and have tried many options to eliminate the cut paths but not sure what I was doing. Can you give a few words what to click on?

[@CasualDIY]

@@VuTran-h3l you just need the node tool to do that, there are quite a few tutorials on KZbin on that.

[@VuTran-h3l]

@@CasualDIY yes thank you. I have been messing around with it all day and did figure it out with a bunch of nodes that needed to be broken apart and then connected to close the opens. Thank you for answering and the vid was awesome. I've watched it like a dozen times.

Yes I saved the files separately.

[@stephencave187]

Great work Tomasz.

[@CasualDIY]

thank you very much

[@bobhalsey7545]

Great video as always, something I'll definitely be doing for my home town - but I noticed when you did the cut for the water feature the area lower right effectively creates an island surrounded by the river which would drop out of the layer. When you are lueing-up I noticed it had tabs to maintain the position of this "island" how/where did you generate them please.

[@CasualDIY]

I made them in Inkscape with path tool, I think its called.

[@ogeemoto2853]

I think the tabs would also be the bridges and highways that would cross the river, meaning the island can still be connected physically

[@robertusm]

When you engrave the local roads on the same sheet of wood as the water, what do you do (or what happens) when a local road crosses a stream/river?

[@CasualDIY]

Base level is water, next cutout for water and local roads - if there is a bridge then it will be there just need to make sure it's connected.

[@robertusm]

@@CasualDIY Yeah, but when the waterways are cut first, the bridges are r shown on the file. The entire waterways will be cut out contiguously and then the roads will be engraved and there won't be anything crossing the water to be engraved on. Or am I just not getting it?

[@CasualDIY]

@@robertusm On the same layer you cut the water and engrave the roads. That means on that one file you need to make sure the bridges are there and connected. Ie the water cut out is separated by the bridges. It's one file, one layer for both cutting out water and engraving roads.

[@robertusm]

@@CasualDIY ok, I thought they were separate layers. Thanks!

[@robertusm]

@@CasualDIY I see the roads crossing the water on your video, but when I bring the water map into inkscape, the water isn't broken by bridges. When I combine the water and roads layers in Lightburn, it still wants to cut the water first, without bridges and then engraved the roads. What step am I missing?

[@garethsharp4039]

In Inkscape you need to close off the water with node tool to create closed areas.

Quick question, is there a way in Inkscape to make the local roads just a single line rather than engraved? When I try and switch it to line, it draws the road as a double line and encloses it.

Great project, good instructions to follow. Are there any steps skipped? Such as when the text from the bottom is removed and is the water edited? When I create the water vector as instructed, then load it into Lasergrbl it has a square boarder and is not self contained like on yours. Also it is not a PNG file. Any advice? Thanks.

[@CasualDIY]

No stepps missed. Just amending the graphic to what I want exactly. One thing you need to be aware of when doing the water cut out is that the water lines need to be closed off to be cut out. Are you using correct settings in lasergrbl? You can adjust few things there that would give something you are saying.
