Hi,
Here's an interesting way to fold rigid materials.

What a clever idea - I will have to try something similar in miniature

That's a nice idea on how to make things bendy - have to borrow that one I'm afraid ;)

Would you be able to send me the files so I can try it as I'm new to layering and need all the help I can get.

I believe inkscape has a plugin that will generate the bends for you.

I modelled a 3D parametric living hinge for a similar product... very useful and fully configurable, any size, any number of segments... took me a few hours but it was worth the effort... Its been used on a few things I make...

I didn't know Inkscape had a plug in... I will need to investigate that... could save me hours if i wanted to make some sweeping changes...
