Inside this edition

Instruction pages
1

A 140 mm six-sector message wheel and 130 mm cover with one matching curved window.

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. Add a short message or drawing in each numbered sector of the larger wheel, staying between the 24 mm and 58 mm radial positions seen through the cover window.
  4. Cut both outer circles and the shaded curved window in the smaller cover. Puncture the marked center holes carefully over a protected surface.
  5. Place the cover on the message wheel and connect their centers with a small paper fastener. Keep it loose enough for rotation without tearing the paper.
  6. Turn the larger exposed edge to reveal each sector. Check that adjacent messages do not intrude into the window.
  7. Keep small fasteners and sharp tools away from young children. The file provides the mechanism, not six finished message illustrations.
Printing and use notes

Make a scrap-paper trial before using special material or producing a batch.

Digital geometry does not establish physical assembly, durable joins, material fit or compatibility with a particular product.
