It’s a good idea to allot yourself at least a month for each piece or pair of pieces you wish to build. I only have XX amount of days/weeks/months before I need to have a full suit finished do I have enough time?ĭeadlines are commendable, but if you only have a few months to create an entire suit, reconsider.

Read them (one hint, use Ctrl+F to find a particular word to make your search easier). Now, onto the FAQs there are a lot of them, but this is a complex hobby. If you have a question that someone has already posted, but has not been answered, do not post an “I’m wondering that, too” post simply wait for the question to be answered. Since there is a 10,000 character limit per post, the first 5 posts have been reserved for FAQ expansion. Determine which category your question falls into and look in that section. To make it a little easier to locate a particular FAQ, I’ve broken this thread down into sections: Getting Started, Using Pepakura, Scaling and Building a Pepakura Project (more categories may be added later). As such, periodically, the questions asked in later posts will be added to the FAQ section, and the posts themselves deleted. This is part of an effort to keep this thread clean and easy to read over. When someone answers your question (and anybody can answer), the answer will be edited into the question post by a moderator and all subsequent answers/comments will be deleted. If your question is not answered, then you can submit a post asking that question. If you have a question, read through the FAQs first. This thread will be that Help! thread’s replacement.Īs this is an FAQ thread, every single question ever asked may not be covered. So, I sifted through the thousands of posts, looking for the most frequently asked questions. The same questions were being asked over and over, but it was far too unreasonable to sift through the hundreds of pages looking for the answer. As many of you may have noticed, the “Help! for Papercraft and Pepakura sticky was getting a little out of hand.
