How to build it
- Type the size you need above, in millimetres, centimetres or inches.
- Download the PDF and print it at 100% — never “fit to page”.
- Cut every solid line and score every dashed line.
- Fold every base edge up, then glue each tab behind the next face. Fill it before you close the last face.
Questions about the pyramid
- How tall can a pyramid be?
- As tall as you like. The face height is worked out from the height and the base, so the faces always meet correctly at the point.
- Which is the height — the slope or the middle?
- The vertical height from the base to the point, not the slanted face. That is the measurement you would take with a ruler standing beside it.
- How do I close it up?
- Fold every base edge up and glue each tab behind the next face. Fill it before you close the last face.
