It seems I have become obsessed with using my CNC machine to mark art pieces. This time around I took NASA satellite data to create abstract contour plots of places in Ireland. Really proud of this one!

In this video I show the process of how I managed to use NASA radar data to draw abstract contour maps of real places in Ireland and engrave them with my DIY CNC machine.

You may have covered it in the video and I missed it, but have you considered routing out each layer separately and stacking them? Build a sort of 3D mountaintop in layers? You could probably get some really close alignment since you have the ability to carve each layer's boundaries in the layer below it

gg on the patience and commitment as well. I can never get a programming project to hold my interest more than a few days
