Papercraft: first prototype
The first thing I noticed when I was trying to create tabs for the unfolded shapes was that the shapes unfolded using "UnrollSrf" were not so effective. So I decided to unfold the 3D forms again manually.
Automated and manual unfolded shapes
I then continued with adding tabs and score lines and then printed the shapes on cardstock. Some of the tabs ended up being too small and I couldn't add tabs to some edges because the space between one line and another was too small.
When assembling the paper prototype I found it hard to completely close the shape because the last pieces are hard to glue together. I think if I would change the way I unfolded the 3D model to see if this problem can be solved for when I am assembling the final paper model.
