Heart Shaped BoxHeart Shaped Box

A heart-shaped box. Not because I like Valentine's day, but because I think the third album by Nirvana is awesome... With special help from my girlfriend! The box is not hermetically closed, the circular walls are not glued to the bottom. Have a look at the extra photo's in the 'more options'-page. The width can't be larger then the length. If you try this, the width will be made equal to the length.A heart-shaped box. Not because I like Valentine's day, but because I think the third album by Nirvana is awesome...

EnvelopeEnvelope

A very flat container for letters and the like. By the way: it's not possible to create a A6 envelope out of a A4 sheet using this template — it just won't fit.

It is possible to get an A6 envelope out of an A4, but there's hardly any space left. The template will be rotated so it just fits. When you print this template, you must be able to print (almost) borderless. Center the image and make sure page scaling is set to none, or 100% or 1:1. The title of the template will fall of the page, but that doesn't matter.A very flat container for letters and the like.

A typical paper bag that can be stored completely flat. A goodie-bag, maybe? The top is of the bag is folded inward, to allow for extra strength. There are also 16 holes allowing for a nice little chord to be put through. It's so cute, I could almost die… Nice for gift-wrapping bottles.A typical paper bag that can be stored completely flat.

(Truncated) Cone(Truncated) Cone

A cone, optionally with the top cut off. (In that case, it’s called a frustum). Think of it as a beaker, bucket or a party-hat. The calculations are horrific, that's why I created a template for it. If you'd like a real cone, just use zero for the top-diameter. I added an extra line in the center of the template that can be used as a base line for curved text.A cone, optionally with the top cut off. (In that case, it’s called a frustum).

Decorative StarDecorative Star

Hardly usuable to store anything, but very nice as a christmas-decoration. Depending on the dimensions, you'll either get a template for one point of the star (which you'll have to print a couple of times), or for one side of the star (which you'll have to print twice). The latter is the quickest and easiest way. To 'trigger' this one: use a large height, large inner radius and a low amount of points. The given parameters will work for this.Hardly usuable to store anything, but very nice as a christmas-decoration.

The bottom angle can also be rotated around the axis, as if the already truncated cylinder were twisted.

Cake Slice BoxCake Slice Box

A piece of cake. Literally. A wedge-shaped box that can be used to store pieces of cake. The box consists of an upper and a lower part. The upper part is the cover. The lower part, the tray, does not need glue because it will be locked by the cover. By default, the cover is 5% larger then the tray but this can be adjusted in the expert settings. The angle is a measure for how big a piece of cake can fit in. Look in the figure if you don‘t know what to enter here. For example, an angle of 30º is large enough for 1 piece from a 12-piece cake. The length is the length of the piece, which should be about half the diameter of the complete cake. But, be sure to add quite some allowance here.A piece of cake. Literally.
