Around the world in 80 prints

3dlyx · 2014-10-07T09:32:30.000Z

Hi Julie,

awesome! I gladly appreciate any help.

For the main route around the globe I did think of a country by country approache at first, but the realized that there might be a lot of hindrances slowing it all down this way. So i adapted the map-mechanics in a way to insert waypoints later on in between waypoints that are already set.

so please, tag them hubs!

And we have the ‘freestyle’ and ‘tracker’ sections on the website. that are screaming ‘make me viral!’ as people can add their pictures to the galleries without being an ‘official’ waypoint, or starting their own travels by setting a printed model marked with a link or qr-code ‘free’ to be found by someone who then can continue the models journal and journey.

tl;dr
yeah! spread the news! let’ have fun driving this around the world and watch how many people we can reach.

there is a twitter: https://twitter.com/PhileasPrint ( want to use it with #atwi8p )
a facebook: Redirecting... (just started)

and a short-url to the website: atwi8p.org

@edddy @NavLab @BeachLab would you be up for it?

BeachLab · 2014-10-23T12:45:30.000Z

Absolutely!!! Beach Lab is in!

JulieSillam · 2014-10-23T12:54:00.000Z

Yeaaaaah! Let’s take over Barcelona!

JulieSillam · 2014-10-23T13:03:33.000Z

If @3Dortgen @henriquesv @Troadey @Fenix999 @Trede @awsellick @3Dmaker4U and @cubeathens do it, you would not only have London & Barcelona covered, but also Istanbul, Brazil, Quebec, Lisbon, Puerto Rico, Australia, Romania and Greece !! Yiha!

cubeathens · 2014-10-23T13:34:47.000Z

We’ve started the print!

3dlyx · 2014-10-23T13:40:32.000Z

Wow. That is a boost! Regard yourself as an official honorable travelagent that will be mentioned on the plate that we will print on mars someday. But seriously thanks @JulieSillamJulieSillamJuJulieSillam. I did not get any answer from the last 12 contacts to 3d hubs so that brought me down a little as I saw the momentum decrease. Thanks to you the optimism energy tanks are fully reloaded, and I’ll give out 3 new calls to hubs in asia right now.

JulieSillam · 2014-10-23T13:48:15.000Z

Hahhahaha thanks a lot! Wish I could go to Mars myself to grave my name on it

Thanks to you for having such a great idea! And don’t let this get to you: of course such projects take some time, but I’m sure you can count on 3D Hubs and 3d printing communities’ enthusiasm to make it a success !!

Let’s keep it up!

henriquesv · 2014-10-23T14:19:49.000Z

Brazil is also coming … !!

edddy · 2014-10-23T14:25:40.000Z

yeah! I go for it

3dlyx · 2014-10-23T14:27:33.000Z

awesome!

That’ll keep me busy preparing those blogposts, tweets, map-updates. To send in pictures, texts, links or whatever you like you can mail directly to social@aroundtheworldin80prints.org

Of course you can ask questions, mail ideas and other stuff there too. But keep one thing in mind: Have fun with it!

cheers,

Lars

Send the .stl!

@MDModels

the first waypoint-print on the african continent! That’d be amazing.

You can download the models in different sizes on the website: http://aroundtheworldin80prints.org/download/

But I attached the smaller version to this post too. You can mail pictures, links and texts to the email-address in the post below, or here in this thread or using the contact form on the website.

Thanks for your help, this is so exciting!
