Multi-Level Box v2

Designed	May 2020
Crease Pattern	Yes
Diagrams	No

This model is based on a grid with spacing at certain parts to accommodate the thickness of physical paper.

Like in Multi-Level Box v1, the box units in v2 can be repeated vertically and horizontally in a tessellation. However, the v2 box units and level shifting are slightly more efficient than in v1. In addition, frequent origami box folders should be familiar with v2's cleaner closing method (a twist close).

To fold this model, I recommend precreasing everything, collapsing the level shifts, and finally collapsing the actual box units. The entire box can be flattened, but the crease pattern is for the 3D form.
