Poor Man's (not so rapid) Prototyping Method for the Fabber-less

Step 5The Fold

Warm up that heat strip. Place the the edge of each fold parallel to the heat strip. Once the plastic around the folding edge is soft enough, bend it. (Perhaps one would want some sort of jig to help the fold. Refer to my other instructable: Poor Man's heat strip for the tip. It can work with non-square folds as well, just don't apply too much pressure or apply the design at an angle.)

Repeat and treat the plastic as a papercraft. Make sure the edges where the tabs use to be line up.
