observablehq.com/d/c8fafa2b342 retrofitted an observable demo that did a neat trick with generating isolines to accept arbitrary geojson files--it's hella slow but I think it will make for some nice plotter drawings. this one is probably going to be a little gift for a friend who just had a kid whose middle name is, I am serious, California

testing out a pipeline of STRM data to STL to plotter.vision's SVG renderer, gel pens can be a little hit or miss but overall promising I think?

observablehq.com/@lifewinning/ sort of a hack but here is the cross-hatched hillshade map visualizations with cross-hatch bodies of water--because of the particular complexity of the river I'm using as an example I tesselate the water polygons but in theory you might not have to for a basic shoreline or something. Also yes, it loads super-slow sorry
