Glad you specified what the abbreviation stands for as top search results are quite different and certainly less intriguing.

Hah! I had to check and… yeah, a little less so for sure

Going to get a friend with a proper ink printer to do the rest before I seal the thing shut with glue and weights, but heres a quick mock up with my home inkjet.
One of two things happened.
I either lost one of the black inserts from the envelope in transit or the print shop forgot to put the fifth one in.
I cut a chip off some black stone cut a shard from the garden from an Atlas Station as a substitute.
QR code links to my Atlas-65 profile.
I like to go for the old pixelated lucas arts adventure game styled colour avatars, was happy it printed out decent enough at a low dpi on regular a2 paper. Cant wait to get it printed proper with acetate etc.
Thanks again @vector_cmdr for sharing this fun little project with us.

So cool! We should lanyard these things and wear them with our NMS jackets.

Still a WIP. I got all the loose parts to fit nicely, nothing is glued just yet.
The Atlas did not print as nice as I had hoped. It had added support to make up for the gap between the key to fit the hole and the Atlas body. I was unable to remove the support well, but I think I can still sort of safe it though.
Have yet to print the image at a copy shop to go behind the frame. I cut a piece of plastic to size for protection, but it might be a bit too thick. Will see how that goes, but may have to find a slightly thinner piece.
It is coming together quite nicely, loving it so far. I do have some spare lanyards

@vector_cmdr I have been trying to figure out the barcode you used in the template, but for some reason I am unable to get a read on it. What type of barcode have you used there and what is it supposed to result in after a scan?
Oh, that’s odd. It should scan as a Data Matrix barcode and result in “PS Operator” for the template one:
I mean the very bottom one, that has PROJECT SKYSCRAPER over it. The square Data Matrix one is perfectly fine

Ohhh. My bad!
It’s decorative jargon, it just decodes to a nonsense string: /X/Z/1/R/4/M+

Ah ok, so the nonsense I managed to get may have actually been correct, or very similar … hehehe. Alright, I guess I’ll go with a common linear 1D that accepts alphanumerical. It just got me really curious and seeing it used with others who created it. I like mine to actually decode to something that makes sense.

Makes total sense, in hindsight I probably should have hidden an easter egg in it or something

I’ll just assume you did, while not YET having figured out how to find it
