fastest and easiest way to make the model

Hey Guys,

what is the fastest and easiest and more flexible way to make a model like the attached image?

thank you 5042b1836d9b3727a2f8f489a37db22a.jpg

I think your questions is not very clear, you want 3d with blocks, the foldable paper or a way to design the cuts in order to print it on paper and then cut and fold ?

3d blocks are surely simple

something foldable surely not so easy :-( but interesting :-)

It is always also good to give sources, adresses ...

But thanks for making me discovering this technique. Very beautiful.

I just want to make the blocks for now and indeed this is just starting point, and I am going to make changes, but at first I want to make something similar,

thank you Laurent!

Here is a fast answer, I spend sometimes thinking and less than 1 hour scripting. So it wasn't too difficult.

It is a bit long, the component to join faces on Brep, I will put a toggle to go faster and when happy with the result it will be possible to select the complete solution.

Unable to open your GH file. I get this message and when I close it, Rhino crashes with an offer to send an error report to McNeel:

Very interesting. The folding technique is an important clue about dimensional constraints.

Not that I have any intentions of writing GH for this project. ;)

P.S. More clues:

thank you Joseph, I dont think also algorithm is the answer just a clue to do modeling.

Surely a rhino 6 WIP ... problems with rhino 5 !!!! I will look at that in few hours

Here a version for "old" Grasshopper and Rhino 5. It uses a surface/brep in order to generate the "blocks" but now I think the best is to generate the bloks with some patterns controled with GH so at the end it will be fare more beautiful and controllable. As said a version with speed control. There is a fast way and a complet slow.
