Wikipedia 3D printable globe

Hi @Slashme! I stumbled upon your 3D printable globe file on Github. It looks like WikipediaGlobeOnePieceBlackLettersShiny.blend could possibly be printed in two colors (one for the letters one for the globe) - like on a Bambu X1 Carbon. Unfortunately my experience of Blender is very limited, so I was wondering if you could help prepare the file? Also, thank you a lot for those! I had no idea this file was out there and am looking forward to print the puzzle version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E mln e (talk • contribs) 19:46, 7 April 2026 (UTC) E mln e (talk) 19:47, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

I'd be happy to help! What does the printer need the file to contain to make that possible? --Slashme (talk) 19:55, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

In the process of looking it up more (https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1r21np7/i_built_a_blender_3mf_addon_that_turns_painted_or/) I also found out I can do it directly in the printer's slicer! I've tried that, will do a test print and get back to you if that doesn't work. E mln e (talk) 22:58, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Great! Please upload pics if it works! --Slashme (talk) 04:47, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Will do! Would you mind if I uploaded the stl files (with attribution) on 3d printing files sharing platforms? It would help with discovery.

As long as you abide by the license terms (CC-BY-SA), it's fine. Attribution like in the GitHub repository with a link to File:WikipediaGlobeOnePiece.stl at least :-) I think the STL file with the individual puzzle pieces wasn't ever uploaded to Commons for some policy reason that I've forgotten.

Looking forward to see the result! Will you be at Wikimania in Paris? --Slashme (talk) 07:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

It was a bit of a nightmare to print but so happy with the result! I'm going to make a few different version for the colors and upload at least to Makerworld with link and attribution.

Yes, I will be at Wikimania this year. E mln e (talk) 20:55, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

That looks super cool! Let's meet in Paris, at least to say hello. --Slashme (talk) 06:22, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
