Similar is the buckminster fuller "dymaxion" globe <link can be found on search engine of choice>


There aren’t that many ready to build, so I made this one:

Would you care to share any details on how you made it?

I have a back-burner project to make one out of hardwood on a CNC, which potentially requires a custom generator.


I didn’t do the map itself. I used a CC licensed black and white version that was around which I recolored and added the tabs for folding. :-/


Similar in that the Fuller's Dymaxion maps (there are at least three different versions) used polyhedral projections, though the original was a cuboctahedron and the later versions used a regular icosahedron, while this Paper Globe uses a particular 32-gon.


Nice!
