| Text | Modular cube made from 8 bus or metro tickets.
Basic module 1. Take a ticket, place it horizontally. 2. Take a second ticket, place it on the first ticket in a vertical position, making the centers of the two tickets coincide. It is not necessary to be very precise. 3. Fold, using a valley fold made from left to right resting on the left edge of the front ticket, the left side of the rear ticket onto the front ticket. Mark the fold. 4. Fold, using a valley fold made from right to left resting on the right edge of the front ticket, the right side of the rear ticket onto the front ticket. Mark the fold. The front ticket is now caught inside the folds of the rear ticket, which form a sort of belt. It protrudes at the top and bottom. 5. Fold, using a valley fold made from top to bottom resting on the upper edge of the belt, the upper side of the rear ticket on the front flap of the belt. Mark the fold. 6. Fold, using a valley fold made from bottom to top resting on the lower edge of the belt, the lower side of the rear ticket on the front flap of the belt. Mark the fold. We now have a square shape of thickness 6. 7. Unfold everything, and set aside the two tickets that you have just marked. We obtained two basic modules. We need to do 6 more. 8. Repeat 3 times from step 1 to step 7. We now have 8 basic modules. Connection face 1. Take a base module, fold the left and right flaps using the valley folds constructed when preparing the modules. We obtain a sort of belt closed on itself. A sort of pocket is created, accessible through two openings located at the top and bottom of the folded module. 2. Slide the upper flap of the second module into one of the two openings of the ticket folded in three. We place the second ticket in such a way that its central flap covers the folded flaps of the first module. 3. Slide the lower flap of the second module into the second opening of the ticket folded in three. We now have a square shape with an opening on each of its sides. You have to build two. Assembly of the cube. You need to assemble two connecting faces and four modules. The connecting faces will constitute two opposite faces of the cube. The four other modules will form the four faces joining the connecting faces. 1. Arrange the single modules so that the end flaps are perpendicular to the central flap. 2. Take a simple module, slide one of the end flaps as far as possible into a slot on a connecting face. 3. Take the second connecting face, slide the second terminal flap as far as possible into one of its slots. We obtain a sort of U whose sides are formed by the two connecting faces and the bottom by the central flap of the simple module. 4. Take a second simple module, slide one of the terminal flaps as far as possible into a slot adjacent to the occupied slot of a connecting face. 5. Slide the second terminal flap as far as possible into the slot adjacent to the occupied slot of the second connecting face corresponding to the identical slot of the first connecting face. 6. Take a third simple module, slide one of the end flaps as far as possible into a slot adjacent to one of the occupied slots of a connecting face. 7. Slide the second terminal flap as far as possible into the slot adjacent to the occupied slot of the second connecting face corresponding to the identical slot of the first connecting face. 8. Take the last simple module, slide one of the end flaps as far as possible into the last free slot on a connecting face. 9. Slide the second end flap as far as possible into the last free slot of the second connecting face. The ticket cube is finished. It can also be done with 1:2 rectangles. We can then simplify the task of creating an elementary module by making folds located at a quarter of the ends. |
