Lighter/cleaner Fuller Projection (for slower PCs)

Lighter/cleaner Fuller Projection (for slower PCs)

The source Dymaxion map was very heavy with splines and curves, so much so that it kept making my PC freeze, and my university computer connected to the laser cutter crash completely. I have redrawn every part of this map, including the edges of the triangles. as well as the contour lines of the earth. I also found a different fuller projection source image from the the original - same map of course, but far lighter on the splines and curves meaning that it takes less processing power to edit and laser cut. The files I have provided may still have some unnecessary overlaps on the map, but even with those it loads far quicker and easier. I guess that's just the nature of line-work art that you don't completely draw yourself. I've included DXF and Illustrator files so that you can play around with it yourself, but I've tried to make it as accurate and clean/lightweight as I can! Let me know if you notice any major issues and I shall get to changing them!
