Tip:
Remember: the inside of the snack bowl is the underside of the TroCraft Eco sheet.
If you want to see the engraving from the inside of the bowl, cut it out first (without the engravings). In the second step, remove the cut bowl from the machine and place it upside down in the same position. Now, activate the engraving parameters, and deactivate the two cutting parameters. This will allow the engraved pattern to be visible on the inside of the bowl.
Carefully bend the four scratched 'fold' lines. Repeat this process until the edges are all easily movable. Next, bend the four middle cut lines in the opposite direction. When a slight bowl shape is recognisable, insert the fork into the two small recesses. If done correctly, the bowl should now hold its shape.
