self un-folding box

Post by Shinigami101 »

I'm looking for some help in making a self unfolding box. So it would be flat, you squeeze it, and it turns into a cube. The top can be open, or I can make a 3D diagram. FOr a school project.

Thanks

Shinigami101 opened up another thread that I deleted, here's the content
I'm trying to make this box, that will be glued as on the diagram, and then folded up. I'd like it to that it just pops open into that cube form. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that the small diagonal Creases on top are wrong. To get them working they would have to go from the Crease intersections of the uppermost horizontal Valley fold with the vertical fold lines diagonally upwards.
