Make your own PDF and 3D-printed LiDAR Maps!!

In this video learn how to make your own PDF maps that are easy to print out and take in the field with you on QGIS as well as how to print your own 3D printed terrain models using QGIS and your 3D printer.
Both of these are fantastic tools for the prospector, metal detectorist, and archeologist!

Please know that there is more free lidar available out there its just not all located in one place. Some states and countries will have their own separate databases for it.

Great video again! I especially liked the 3D-printed map.

Thanks! Yep I’ve been messing around a lot recently with 3D printing terrain.

I've been interested in learning GIS and I stumbled upon your channel for the prospecting content, this is the first video I've watched so far on a GIS software, as you point out in your conclusion it seems like there's a lot of stuff you can use it for, really cool stuff.

[@theprospectinggeologist4347]

Thanks for watching! And yes at least for me LiDAR and GIS are an instrumental part of prospecting

Very Cool!!

This is really great info. THANKYOU! Do you have a video on how to export a goldmine map from the 1800's so it layers in a QGIS file area of my interest?
Thankyou-Mikey

Thank you for the explanation. I am from Syria. Are there radar images? Can we discover gold buried inside the ground using radar or other questions?

Hey. Have you ever tried to print a map exactly how you did but also the information over it, like shp lines, text etc? I was wondering how to do that and i just cant make it happen :/ Once more, congrats for your work here. If anybody does, please, let me know.

[@theprospectinggeologist4347]

So I can add txt and such, but I have yet to figure out how to turn something like a shp file of property lines into a 3d representation on the model.
