Triangular Grid Roller

A tool to crease triangular grid on paper

Many origami tessellations rely on the triangular grid pattern and a lot of time is spent on the rote task of creasing the paper. My idea is to reduce this non-creative time and allow origami artists / hobbyists to spend more time in creating new designs. I propose a hand cranked / mechanical roller that creases a triangular grid on paper.
