Match the joining instructions to the shape. The result is a learning or display model, not tested protective packaging.

Inside this edition

Instruction pages
1

A cone shell with 48 mm larger diameter and 65 mm nominal vertical height. Separate circular end pieces are optional.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print at actual size (100%) on the matching paper. Measure the 50 mm reference line on a physical trial; a screen ruler is not a print check.
  3. Cut the curved surface along its solid perimeter. Do not add an overlap or cut away a sector: its arc lengths define the stated diameters.
  4. Curve the surface gently. Bring the two straight radial edges together edge-to-edge, with no overlap, then bridge the seam using narrow tape.
  5. Add an optional circular end by attaching short tape pieces at opposite points first. Work evenly around the circumference rather than forcing one long strip around it.
  6. Check the model on scrap before using decorative stock. The flat pattern establishes nominal geometry, not a guaranteed assembled interior size.
Printing and use notes

This is a paper learning/display model. It is not a fitted, protective, food-contact or load-bearing container.

Paper thickness, actual folding and taped joins have not been physically tested.
