Description
Because the frame of the original Earth globe my kids used for school assignments broke, I created another one. I believe that the Earth globe is this one: https://amzn.eu/d/6tGfc00
Features:
For reference, my globe has a diameter of 300mm, and two holes (at the N and S poles) for caps (32mm and 38mm).
BOM:
Because 30cm seems to be a very popular size for Earth globes, I hope this can help many others. If you do not have already the globe in exactly this size at hand, a model of the globe in this size is included (see Files). It can be painted, relief can be added etc.
Alternatively, one can print another globe, for instance this one: https://www.printables.com/model/213297-wip-5-color-topographical-earth-globe-in-high-def Please note that this model has 320mm diameter, so has to be scaled down to 93.75% and two 3mm holes must be bored at the poles.
How to print:
How to assemble:
I'm not gonna ask for a coffee, but please make sure you give me a like if you find this model useful.
