Rubik Globe #3DThursday #3DPrinting

This is a Rubic puzzle in the form of a globe. The continents are elevated by 0.5mm which makes it easy to paint the rest with a blue pen. A clear coat protects the color.
I wanted to have a design that is mostly hollow.
The center pieces simply snap on. There is a hole in Antarctica to allow to unscrew and open again.
The puzzle is fully functional. However, some of the edges I did not chamfer to reduce the gaps in the surface. This makes it more prone to stick from time to time.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
