Most of the parts should be solved first before connecting them to the previous ones. Keep in mind that you need to apply the glue to the non-printed face of the flap, since flaps need to be inside the model and not visible from the outside. So for example a flap with number 182 will have a corresponding edge with the number 182. When gluing you should apply glue to the “flap”. Mountain and Valley lines in the template will look like on the picture below.

Since the model will be made with printed faces inside, on the finished model it will actually look the other way around. So basically, when folding if you see a mountain line, fold it in a way that the printed line is on top. In my templates / guides, mountain and valley lines are represented by looking at printed face of the paper. In a essence you eather fold the part down or up. Valley lines are the opposite and they will represent the bottom of a valley. Mountain line means it need to resemble a mountain, so the line itself will be the peak. Mountain and valley lines are where the part needs to be folded. This way there will be no numbers / lines / part names visible on the finished model.Īpart from solid lines there are two other types of lines – Mountain and Valley lines. This guide will follow the printed faces inwards method. Models can be folded in two different ways with printed pages facing outwards or with printed pages facing inwards. To avoid this, always point the ruler so it’s facing out of the model itself. Sometimes it can happen that your knife will steer off the ruler which can cut through parts of the model. In example below, that page needs to be printed on pink colored paper.Īlign the ruler to the solid lines and use the cutting knife or tool of your choice to cut through the paper in a straight line. Notice which pages are what color before printing.

(White is represented with light gray, so when you see light gray it just means white paper). This is the suggested color on what colored paper you should print it on. Template file will have a little color box on each page in the top left corner.
