Very cool. I'd like to see versions with more details suitable for larger formats (A3, A2, A1, A0, ...?).

For example the pacific ocean appears to be missing most islands.

Geografia also offers a very interesting flippable globe: https://www.geo-grafia.jp/product/globe_flip/

The author has since built an improved version where you can generate your own Paper Globe template from an image (uploaded or a URL), with a dedicated website: https://paperglo.be/

Lovely article/recipe. I just hope the author makes a version for tea drinkers.

More seriously, a version with a star map would be very cool.

There's a Photoshop plugin, Flexify, for generating these. It dates back to 2002 or earlier: http://flamingpear.com/flexify-2.html
