How many people actually just have an embosser though? It’s an interesting idea, but not very practical I think

You can also export to stl-files which you can print in any 3D printer

It's pretty useful, I've been testing that website out and printed out a number of maps. The only issue I find (and I don't think there is a clear solution to it) is how to cut down on too much information. In some areas, there are lots of paths near each other that can cause confusion, but it isn't easy to edit the STL file to remove those paths if they are confusing. I find that came up more with older clients, who wanted exactly the information they want and nothing else.
