Tutorial: How to use Pepakura to make your Mjolnir Armor

[blinkava44]

well.. theres a type of paper out there called cardstock that your supposed to print it off of. its thicker than normal and can handle more..

u can buy it at office max or the like.

110lbs is the right weight u want.
mine cost me 250 sheets for like 10 bucks not bad at all and totally worth it
its still in the letter format so itll print off just the same as the one u just printed

let me no if theres anything else u need help with

 

[Spartan 110]

a lot of people on this site use 110 lbs. cardstock, its thicker than regular paper

 

[war veteran117]

Cardstock huh? Does it still feed into a normal printer without jamming? And where can i get them? I live in Canada so....maybe some place like...staples?

 

[blinkava44]

yeah it feeds into reg. printers just fine.

and im pretty sure staples will have it

just ask them for 110 lb cardstock

Just FFR, A4 paper is a specific size and aspect ratio.

After resining and fiberglass reinforcing, and if you're going to clean it up after the sanding and smoothing.

Hey Fizzlefry how do you make ODSt pepakura?

 

[abandonship]

i had no idea that you have to be a certain age to purchase resin. i shouldve known since its an inhalant.

 

[SGT Razor]

What age do you have to be?

 

[UnDedSnipr]

Hmm they never asked me how old I was when I bought it.

 

[abandonship]

i dont know what age you have to be. im assuming 18 but we never got any help when we asked for it. home depot has horrible customer service.

 

[FullMetal Reg]

how come when i print the only thing i see are numbers, no lines, folds or anything except numbers.

 

[Ironcobra3000]

I have a problem, I'm using the original scale, but when I put the helmet together, its tiny!!! Why is it doing this? is there a Way to flip the paper images so they fit onto the paper correctly?
this is basically what I'm getting:

Look at the paper position, then look at the drawing position.

This is what I want:

Note: I made these drawings with MSpaint for quick reference

 

[FinAeros]

1) check the size in centimeters along with the scale, and check your decimals.

2) there's a rotate feature in pepakura. It'll pick points on the pieces that you can rotate around the axis of.


Also, make sure you have the pepakura dev kit, not the viewer.
