I've been making maps for a few years now. 3D printing has also been a hobby of mine for about 10 years now and this is a great way to put that hobby to use.

I make my buildings from Lidar data, which requires quite a few hours of manual cleanup to get them looking nice for 3D printing.

It should be pretty up to date as I always go and look for newly constructed buildings to manually model as well, but it's always possible that I missed something. I try my best though!

I went through this guide to setup a brand new SSD at my boot drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePXgK5eQFK4

The process itself looked fine. I didn't get any error messages or anything like that.

However, after I tried rebooting it looks like it's still booting via USB, and it mentions "Unmountable: unsupported or no file system" for this boot device SSD.

Any ideas? At this point it's not clear what I should do.

EDIT: I resolved the issue.
I took another look inside the computer and found that this SSD was plugged into a PCI expansion port (I thought I grabbed a different port's cable but apparently not). I switched the sata cables around on this SSD and another one of the HDDs and that seems to have done the trick. It's now booting from this SSD successfully.

My motherboard only has one nvme slot which is being used for a cache drive, but I still want to switch to booting from an SSD which means I need to remove a drive from the array.

I'm fine with that though as I have a couple drives in here that are getting old anyway, and they're only 3TB in size.

How do I move the data from one of those 3TB drives to the other drives? I know Unbalanced used to be the go to for this type of thing, but is it still the best way to go these days?

I've been into both maps and 3D printing for quite a while, so I've been making 3D city maps. It's a fun mashup of hobbies!

Very happy with how this downtown Baltimore map turned out. The water front makes for a great feature for it.

Just to clarify, I don't just use an online tool to quick generate a map for me. I use Lidar data (which is basically laser scans of cities from an aircraft) which requires a ton of manual clean up work. It's worth it though as this gives me as much detail for the buildings as possible. Here is a quick comparison of the type of map that I make vs what most people do: https://imgur.com/a/STX96Li

I typically don't share a store link on this subreddit, but I noticed it looks like the rules say to source my post. I sell these maps as a side hustle, and you can find them over at: https://metromap3d.com

I offer these finished maps as a bit of a side hustle at the moment, so if you want one you can take a look over at. I have a handful of cities at this point.

I tried tightening the screw at the front but that didn't I wasn't able to make it move much.

Any guidance would be appreciated!
