use the provided template or draw your own onto some cardboard

my design is 300mm long for the main body, 240mm wide (before scoring and bending) and the triangles inside are 40mm equilateral while the cone ones are 60mm tall

Cutting and Scoring

cut out the pieces then score them along internal lines using a ruler and knife pressed less hard.

score all lines and cut all lines on outside of shape. only score on one side
