If you like doing crafts with your kids, you will love this just as much as I did: https://t.co/KkUIHivwj8

A free app with dozens of box patterns you can customize and print.

My daughter wanted a box for a specific toy, we measured it and thanks to @template_maker made a pattern to fit it precisely. ❤️

Haven’t actually made the box yet, but very impressed with this. Clearly someone’s labor of love.

@LeaVerou @RogersKonnor Tricky,... you might end up buying a desktop cutting plotter instead of a 3D printer. _Also_ a lot of fun!

[Template Maker @Template_Maker]

@LeaVerou @RogersKonnor I am not a native speaker English. According to my research, for paper craft, yes, these things are called
'templates'. The printing industry calls them 'dielines'. And more math-minded people call them 'nets'. But indeed, the term is ambiguous.

@KraiMind @FlagInstitute Correct me if I am wrong, @vlaggenkunde, but flags like these are called 'pennants'. You are not supposed to fly a real national flag between dusk and dawn (etiquette), so you use a pennant instead. It's like the light-version of a flag.

@theFoldster @CodysLab Cabbage-like taste?

@springer1842 What should I do if I (THINK I) spotted an typo/error in one of your books? I tried a formula, it didn't work. I swapped two variables in the formula and that corrected it. It's a typical |determinant| thing. ISBN1863-7310, formula 12.6: (y3-y1) should be (y1-y3)

@espiekermann Thanks! Well, I tried Glyphs, but I could not figure out how to use it to make a OTF/SVG font. If it _should_ be possible non-the less, then I'd be happy to give it another try.

[Template Maker @Template_Maker]

@arturo182 Yes, until I bought a flatbed cutting plotter, I used the Silhouette too. Hence, the question. Your projects look interesting.

[Template Maker @Template_Maker]

@theFoldster Thanks. I'm starting to see why people are so enthusiastic about it.

Thanks, @MrCirkulis for drastically expanding the Latvian translation!

[Template Maker @Template_Maker]

@theFoldster @t3dotgg Good to know. Then I don't need to venture there...

Just in case anybody wonders... @cricut has changed their program, not me. The SVG files generated by my software are still the same. Working on the issue, but a little help from my friends at @cricut would be welcome!

@FoldUpToys Not a decade, or two, too early. Finally!

@robin7331 @flowalistik It's a sneak preview of their new product called “Ekstrudera” :)

@MartjanKuit Misschien is het de Sint bRavo kerk? @vlaggenkunde

@natashenka007 @AdamCSharp En ook: “van alle markten thuis”. But how to translate these two literally?
