Oct 14th, 2018: Whole World In Your Hands

No not the real world, nobody's gonna trust your clumsy ass with that.
More like print and assemble your own world with a hint of Happy Monkey.

But you don’t have to be smart and talented like HM because Mapscaping has done the hard part.
Just go to the folding paper globes page and click on what blows your skirt up... they're free. :yesnod:

You will redirected to printable a PDF file of that image
Take a colored printout on size A3 paper. (A4 works too, but it isn’t as much fun – especially with, well, big fingers)
You will find that each fold has been marked with a thin black line
That’s it. Get folding!
Pro tip: For more complicated designs, you can use a ruler to make sure you are getting a clean and precise fold.

A3 – 297 x 420 mm - 11.7 x 16.5 in
A4 – 210 x 297 mm - 8.3 x 11.7 in

If you get carried away and make too many just fill them with candy and give them to the roving terrors on Halloween. ;)

That's cool. I am curious about the last one.

Hint?:eyebrow:

I prefer healthy dollups o'Happy Monkey.

Yeah, all 10 pieces seem to be the same size and shape, I can't figure out how they would go together.:confused:

I suspect each one is a vertical slice from the north pole to the south pole, like orange wedges.

That may be but I can't see how they would fit together. They are the same shape and seem to have the same fold lines. :confused:y

I suspect it's five make the northern hemisphere and five make the southern, and the pieces spiral a bit from the equator to the pole. But I don't have an intuition how those notches in the triangles affect how they go together.

The long sides without notches puzzle me; if they were attached to each other, the resulting corner would lay flat. So I think the edges without notches each actually line up with two of the shorter sides.

Is there a non-faded-out PDF?

Yes, at the link in the first post there's this link to the page of pdfs.

Those are all pale, like in post #6. I was hoping for the darker colors like in the small pics.

No, I darkened the small ones when I shrunk them so they would show up better.

Oh, well, I suspected that, but hoped there was a darker set. Anyway, I did print it out and start assembling it. Turns out I was wrong about how it attaches. It's not going to be a globe at all, but a spiky ball, like the green one in this picture (not like my favorite spiky ball shape).

I was confused for a while, trying to piece it together, but all of Antarctica is on the third piece down in the second column, and there was only one way to get those pieces of white to touch.

figured all the plans use the same picture/map, and the simpler ones like the square show a big white antarctica and small white arctic. We know they have to be at the top and bottom.

That's how I figured it out; I actually printed out and made the cube one, to look for matching features.
