A retro papercraft microwave with a turntable that really turns, a window door that clicks shut and a DING! flag that pops out of the roof. The clock says 12:00. It always will.

• Three real mechanisms: turn the dial on top and the turntable spins inside (a rolled card axle runs up through the roof); slide the lever on the side and DING! pops out (push it into its little slit and it stays up); the side-hinged door has a real cut-out window and tucks shut with a little click
• Three two-sided snacks: Lukewarm Larry the leftover pizza slice (hot edges, cold middle), Kernel Pop the popcorn bag and Mug Cake Mabel. Pop one in, shut the door, turn the dial, turn it round: cooked. Larry stays cold in the middle. Always
• 31 pages: Strawberry Milk and Matcha Mint colourways, colour-in and design-your-own sheets, a 3-page assembly manual, the flat-pack carton it fits in, a kitchen planner, the Snack Key, 12 gift tags and a spare-parts sheet
• Part of The Flat-Pack Snack Kitchen: 8 cm deep like every unit, so Ding sits on the Counter-Top Cabinet's worktop or on top of the fridge and lines up with the rest of the kitchen, Toasty's Pop-Up Toaster and the Bao Buddies Steamer Stack
• Level: Snack Architect (10 to 108). A proper grown-up build, with a craft knife for the window, holes and slots. About 2 to 3 hours, honestly. Built size 12 x 8 x 8 cm
• Instant PDF download after checkout, in A4 and US Letter. Nothing gets posted

You'll need: card (160 to 220 gsm), scissors, a craft knife and cutting mat, a glue stick, a dot of PVA glue, a ruler and a pencil. Print at 100%. You need 6 sheets to build it; the rest is bonus.
