>>46397 Although glueing flaps like this are a break from all those similar looking glueing flaps on the other papercrafts, these actually aren't "better" or anything. They just look different, but since you won't see any glueing flaps in the end, it's a waste of time I think to spend extra time on how they look.
Rounded glueing flaps like these will overlap at the ends, which you would preferably not want to have... "Normal" glueing flaps are cut at an angle at the ends, so they won't overlap. If the angles are all 90 degrees like on a cube, they will be cut at 45 degrees (or 44 even better). If the angles would be 60 degrees, they would cut at 30 degrees (see the pattern? ;) Further, these rounded glueing flaps don't go all the way to the ends. The corners themselves will not be bonded together. It's maybe no big deal with a small papercraft like this one, but usually, the corners are just the parts that you DO want glued together.
Read this or don't, it's just same tips and opinions on glueing flaps, inspired by the template in>>46397.
