This has been often asked about. I have not printed it, I just made it a few years ago using Fusion’s SLCR app.
I could never find a local source of cardboard at a price I was willing to pay.
Use at your own risk. I don’t care if you decide to sell it.

This is very cool.
Did you just take a 3D model of earth and slice it to make this?

I downloaded it when you first posted it - I think about printing it every once in a while but so far nope. It is cool looking!

A nice share! Wish I had a place to put one.
Looks really cool! Thanks for sharing.
A sharp knife and a refrigerator box from a local appliance store?

Any clerk you are friendly with could get you a ton of it, or anything you bought that came in a box.
They used to have tons of boxes behind every store, but now they “recycle” by shredding before tossing out.

$25 will get you 50 pristine, flat, 12x18" cardboard sheets

I buy a pack every few weeks for shipping laser cut words, but they’re handy for something like this, or doing test cuts before using wood/acrylic

You’re going to want to score the red - it both tells you the order of the pieces, and the glue line for the next piece! I imagine it’s technically possible to do without, but a lot harder

I am trying to figure out how much cardboard I have piled up.

Do you have a picture of the globe complete please?
Precisely.
I created the file but have never found a source of clean, flat cardboard that was worth the cost (and used material is not suitable.)
I shared the file because it was the topic of discussion a month back or so.
