Description
I made this model back in December but never posted it - I saw the paper fan contest and thought this might be fun to post. This is based off a very cheap paper fan and was my attempt at reverse engineering in. I never really figured out the paper folding but I think that using the jig to etch the folds into the paper rather than trying to fold it through the jig is the way to go.
I've included a 3mf file with the print settings. But in general you should use supports and not remove small overhangs - the snap fit parts require very specific sizings.
It does snap together but the design could definitely be improved upon a ton.
