Hyperbolic Paraboloid Mechanic Articulated Paper Sculpture

Mechanic paper sculpture. Fully articulated, no glue. This is a hyperbolic paraboloid built by the rule z = x^2 - y^2 from which I devised the full shape for this sculpture. The mechanism lets the sculpture lie flat for easy transportation :). Thanks to Sergio Zepeda’s teachings from which I got the articulation mechanism.
