Outline Dymaxion Map Net[edit]

I'm sure there used to be a really nice version of this Dymaxion Map which was a simple black-and-white outline, suitable for printing, (colouring), cutting out, and assembling into an icosahedral 'globe'. Does anyone know where it went, or know of a suitable replacement?

Many thanks. 78.32.242.170 (talk) 15:57, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Like this? 97.82.165.112 (talk) 16:57, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oooo, possibly. I shall have to check at home, as that website 'cannot prove its identity'. 78.32.242.170 (talk) 17:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked on my phone, and not quite. The most outliney one there doesn't have the fold lines for the triangles, and the other has the gridlines. There used to be a nice, clean one with the triangles shown, I thought on Wikimedia. 78.32.242.170 (talk) 17:04, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed your link. External links don't require the | symbol that internal wikilinks do. Matt Deres (talk) 18:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC) [reply]

There is File:Visionscarto-airocean.svg, which has no fold lines and does have meridians and parallels. The former are easy to find with a simple straightedge, though, and many picture editors can remove the thinner grid lines. --Lambiam 19:42, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, yes, but I'm looking for something to use with people who cannot simply find these (if I were making it myself, I could simply fold the lines in the right places), and I was hoping to find whatever it was I had used years ago which didn't require me to refamiliarise myself with editing software. That is otherwise a nice, clean net, though. Thanks, Matt. 78.32.242.170 (talk) 12:16, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
