12-sided Springring

A mechanical ring that can be used for playing or you can simply wear it.

It is a small challenge to fold this ring and the folds are tiny so that you could have maybe troubles.
Nevertheless you can increase the printsize (over 100%) of the cp to ease modelling.
 

• A toothstick for the tiny folds
• Printed CP
• Glue (stick)

blue are mountain folds, the red ones valley folds

At first cut along the black lines (PDF), then prefold the pattern.

Form the prefolded paper to a ring, the glueing area is shown as dotted marks.
Fold and tuck the frame. Then repeat the steps for the another side.



 

At last you fold the spring structure and repeat the pleats inside the frames with a toothstick.

Good Luck!
