[rp-ml] Landscape model/ cost effiesient way to print big models?

[Charles Overy]

Atte,

Typically it is more cost effective to use a CNC machine on large terrain
forms instead of using additive manufacturing.
There are very few undercuts on terrain although bridges and highways can
create issues depending on the scale.

Use of a CNC mill can be complicated if you also have to put in large
numbers of buildings.

The scale, level of detail, color, and cost targets should drive the
manufacturing methods rather than the manufacturing method driving the
product specs.
