"Starry Path" 90° Pop-Up Card | Bambu Knife Module Cut Version

"Starry Path" 90° Pop-Up Card | Made with Bambu Lab Knife Module

✨ Introduction

Chinese:

This is a beginner-friendly 90° pop-up card, inspired by the "Starry Path", which simulates a sense of ceremony leading to a highlight moment through its gradually rising stepped structure. When the card slowly unfolds, the progressively layered steps stand firmly, and each step's top has a reserved circular decoration spot where you can attach stars, photos, or handwritten notes, making it a unique stage for blessings.

This is a beginner-friendly 90° pop-up card inspired by the "Starry Path". The stepped structure, rising level by level, creates a sense of ceremony leading to a moment of glory. As the card opens, the stairs stand firmly in place. Each step has a reserved circular spot, perfect for adding star stickers, photos, or handwritten notes to turn it into a personal stage for your message.

🛠️ Build Details

Chinese:

• Tools & Equipment: Cut using the CNC Knife Module of the Bambu Lab H2 series printer. No manual paper cutting is required throughout the process, resulting in clean, burr-free cuts, and the fit accuracy of structural components is controlled within 0.1mm, ensuring smooth opening and closing without jamming.
• Design Ingenuity: Adopts the classic 90° support structure found in pop-up paper art. All parts are flat-cut, requiring no glue to fix complex mechanisms, making assembly easy even for beginners. The height difference and angle of the steps have been optimized multiple times to maintain a stable form when opened, preventing collapse due to gravity.
• Material Suitability: Recommended to use 250gsm white cardstock, which has sufficient stiffness to support the three-dimensional structure and is also convenient for later hand-drawing, hot stamping, or sticker decoration to create a unique style.

English:

• Tools & Equipment: Cut entirely with the CNC Knife Module on the Bambu Lab H2 series printer. No manual cutting needed, resulting in clean, burr-free edges with a fit tolerance within 0.1mm for smooth, snag-free opening and closing.
• Design Highlights: Features the classic 90° support structure from pop-up papercraft. All parts are flat-cut, with no complicated glue-based mechanisms, making assembly accessible even for beginners. The height difference and angle of the stairs have been optimized multiple times to stay stable and prevent collapse when open.
• Material Suggestion: Recommended for 250gsm white cardstock. It offers enough rigidity to support the pop-up structure while remaining easy to decorate with hand-drawn art, foil stamping, or stickers for a custom look.

💡 Design Concept

Chinese:

As a papercraft creator, I have always hoped to restore the structural beauty of pop-up cards in a more efficient way. The precise cutting ability of the Bambu Lab Knife Module allowed me to quickly verify the opening and closing logic of the stepped structure, saving the repetitive trial-and-error time of hand-cutting. This work serves both as a practice template for basic pop-up mechanisms and leaves enough creative space for future expanded scenarios (such as birthday wishes, graduation commemorations).

I hope this simple yet ceremonial design can make more people feel the charm of pop-up paper structures, and I look forward to everyone using it to create more imaginative ways to play!
