Invert?
Now, I can't save the change nor reverse the 3D model - is that correct?

Correct. You can't do anything with the 3D model, but if you really want to save the changes, you can buy a key for Pepakura Designer. Most people don't do this. If you resized a piece, copy down the dimensions you used in case you need to reprint it.

Corrupt file? We need some details here

 

[John Awesome]

Not sure, as it does print the page number, but no blueprint.

Try clicking on the download link. You probably didn't download anything.

 

[Sierra713]

Thanks, I figured it out. I just happened to space out basic computer skills for awhile. Again thanks for your time.

Hello, everyone!

I'm pretty new here and have just recently taken an interest in making video game items. Really hoping to make a good, functional Hunter suit someday.

Anyways, I have downloaded the Pepakura Viewer and Designer apps, and have tried to download a pdo to view. However, when I try to download one, it says Windows cannot open it. If it helps, I was using the halo costuming wiki.

You only need Pepakura Designer, and you need to install that after downloading it. If you have done that, right click your pdo file, select "open with" and pick PD manually.

Sorry to bother, but I still can't seem to open one. Exactly WHAT do you right-click, and where? Thanks for any help!

hello! I'm a total newcomer to 405th, and I've just started to build my MKVI helmet. can anybody help me how to pepp the helmet?

 

[fumball]

should we paste the printed pepakura on a thick drawing paper and cut it? I'm stuck on this problem cuz the photos show only pepped helmets.

Hey, guys. I was having a time getting pep documents on Pepakura Designer/Viewer. It's actually pretty easy. I just watched the video "Where to get your Pepakura files" on Youtube. At exactly 1:57, he starts showing how to actually download the documents. Just do as he does. Then, once downloaded, just open them in either Pepakura Designer or Pepakura Viewer to see them (I prefer Pepakura Viewer for using another article to follow with construction, simply because you can rotate the picture at will). Hope this helps!

Quick question, everyone who has experience with Pepakura; What kind of glue do you guys use? I'm guessing wood glue (because of it's protective qualities). Would this be a good option? Are there others?

If it's sticky you can use it. Ultimately this is a subjective question and opinions vary. You may want to explore the advanced search function for beginning questions such as this...it's been asked and debated many other times. Good luck with your project.

I looked at your links, and apparently super glue works just fine. Thank you for your help!
