A cylindrical paper shell with a 42 mm nominal diameter, 63 mm wall height, 7 mm seam allowance and two optional base discs.
From file to finished page
- Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
- 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.
- Cut the wall rectangle and whichever circular end pieces you need. Crease the dashed seam edge.
- Curve the wall gradually around a smooth object. Overlap the 7 mm seam behind the opposite short edge and tape it into a tube.
- Bring a circular piece to one tube end. Join in four opposite positions with short tape pieces, then add further small joins as needed.
- Attach the second disc only if the intended display needs a closed shell. A closed model cannot be opened like a fitted gift box.
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.
