Admiring and participating at the amazing community of Wikipedia made me to really want to hold the Wikipedia globe in my hands, so I started looking for the STL file of the 3D version as soon as I bought my first 3D printer almost 3 years ago. post 
Wikipedia globe printed with PLA.
Searching on line I found that there was a file of the 3D globe logo but that was unfortunately only for 3D rendering purposes and not suitable for 3D printing. After contacting Wikimedia Foundation and the company “Because We Can” who had made the first Wikipedia globe in 3D they published a new version which now includes the STL file in August 2016. A big thanks to the people both at Wikimedia Foundation and “Because We Can” for publishing the files! wikimedia
