Pop-up Cube Manual Lock
In #paperengineering lots of stuff is really little tricks! It’s easy to over-engineer, more difficult IMHO to squeeze mechanisms to the bones - that’s when little tricks (and your own imagination and ingeniosity) are useful.
A pop-up spread very rarely stays open by itself: MANUAL LOCKS come handy if you want to create something to be displayed.
I had shown one very simple type of #popuplock in this video, hidden under the pop-up spread: • PopOrigami 2: Pop-up + Origami!
In today’s video is another one, this time using the pop-up itself as a lock: it is a very simple way to lock a #popupcube or #popupbox.
And you? what kind of paper-engineering tricks do you find particularly useful?
