Description

I drew this globe in Corel Draw , the globe have 250mm diameter and consists of seven rings and twenty four stringers to fitting. I did the drawing to be cut in 4mm material. Remember, if you think about increase or decrease the drawing so you must use a material as thick as the rabbet is.
The result is a solid structure, it don´t need be glued.

Instructions

To original scale you need to use 3mm thickness material like plywood or acrylic.
IMPORTANT! , before cut all pieces make a test, cut only one part where have a rabbet and check if your material fit on it, if not , scale the drawing according to thickness of the material that you will use.

Really cool part! I scaled the whole thing down and printed it in 3mm MDF. Also by scaling it to 3mm I could cut all the parts out of a single piece of 900mm X 600mm MDF. :)

Bois ou PMMA, Extra ...

Mais une question, pourquoi effectuer des encoches suppl
Ã©mentaires dans les rainures ?
I really like.
Wood or PMMA, Extra ...
But one question, why make extra notches in the grooves?

Hi Souriceau,

you refer to those round holes? well, in mechanics it serves to relieve the tension of the material in the contact area, and it help in design look , actually the stringers should also have it in the same place that the rings, so the two circles form a small globe :)
