Pop-up Mechanism Booklet #2

My second little booklet with samples and experiments of of pop-up mechanisms. Everybody needs a good reference library right! This one has mostly angle folds (V-folds), so I robbed some of the previous booklet to add here.

I especially like the double V-folds that point at each other and make the extensions (arms) rotate wildly.

Here are some of my favorite ones:

Moving Arms, as explained by Duncan Birmingham in his excellent book and also Pop-up channel.

A series of V-folds placed one inside the other forming a kind of repetitive scale pattern.

Two V-folds pointing at each other with some counter fold cuts, plus added extensions.

Another mechanism with two V-folds pointing at each other, and you can make a little flower with it too.

Is it a critter or an alien? Counterfolds.

Feel free to pin or share these images.
