Welcome to /po/! We specialize in origami, papercraft, and everything that’s relevant to paper engineering. This board is also an great library of relevant PDF books and instructions, one of the best resource of its kind on the internet.Questions and discussions of papercraft and origami are welcome. Threads for topics covered by paper engineering in general are also welcome, such as kirigami, bookbinding, printing technology, sticker making, gift boxes, greeting cards, and more.Requesting is permitted, even encouraged if it’s a good request; fulfilled requests strengthens this board’s role as a repository of books and instructions. However do try to keep requests in relevant threads, if you can./po/ is a slow board! Do not needlessly bump threads.
Hints and tips?For folding, The best advice is to always fold as cleanly as possible, and take your time. Everything else comes with experience.https://origami.me/beginners-guide/https://origamiusa.org/glossaryWhat are ‘CPs’?Crease patterns are a structural representations of origami models, shown as a schematic of lines; they are essentially origami models unfolded and laid flat. Lines on a crease pattern may be indicated by ‘mountain’ or ‘valley’ folds to show how the folds alternate. If you’re particularly skilled at origami, they become useful instructions for building models. A common base fold is usually discernable, all the intermediate details can be worked on from there.https://blog.giladnaor.com/2008/08/folding-from-crease-patterns.htmlhttp://www.origamiaustria.at/articles.php?lang=2#a4

>>624022That's nothing, the paper clock thread >>622919 has lasted roughly 3560 days (nine years and nine months). It was started in May 2016.
>>629002Is that the longest lasting thread of all time? I came to check this board out of curiosity and I'm quite intrigued with the way things work here.
legacy thread
What do ya'll think? Is this cool?
cutee
Do you guys only fold paper cranes and glue Warhammer figures? I've never seen a bookbinding thread here.Printed and bound House of Leaves. Split it into 2 volumes because I was afraid to work with so many pages at once. Covered with paper-backed vinyl (black) and linen fabric (red), which will probably collect a ton of dust pretty soon.Couldn't decide how to put the titles on. Should have made a debossed rectangle with a paper label glued inside. But I hoped that hot ink transfer would work. So I made the covers first, then printed the title on ink transfer paper, and found out that pressing a hot iron to the cloth-covered board warps the board due to heat expansion. Tried on small swatches first (picrel). This method won't work. As I understand it, my current options to put the title are limited to>linocut transfer >screening (sponging the ink through a trafaret)>just print a paper label and glue it on topDon't have any hot stamping tools to work with foil, nor the desire to purchase these materials.
>>627092Where the fuck do you live where you can't find other sized paper? I personally buy Indian rag paper from Khadi papers. They have stores in UK. It's very cheap and of high quality.
>>627569>not paying attention before and knowing this thread was here. Of course it would be.I can't believe I've been checking /diy/ for a bookbinding thread for over a year now only to learn that it's been on /po/ all this time. I need to use find.4chan.org more often.>I'm thinking of starting my project of a Jurassic Park rebinddid you finish it?>>627076this looks awesome, was it freehanded by you or did you reuse printed bedding?Anyway here's my shitty attempt at freehanding from last year...
...and the project I finished two days ago, a fake Mr Men/Little Miss book. I wish I knew you shouldn't bend 350g paper at a right angle before I tore the cover, but here I am, my kid will probably not notice anyway.
>>627042I bound a book of my printmaking in college. It was satisfying and rewarding
I'm trying to get into this medium. I've almsot gotten a basic set of supplieswhere the FUCK do I get book board?>go to generic craft store>nothing>go to paper supply store>nothingAAAAA the closest thing I've found is chipboard at a tool shop but its way too thick for books
What's best papercraft site

RE-POST REQUEST. It's been pretty dead lately, not even requests, so I don't know if any one will read this. Can some one please re-post "Origami Pro 7" and "Origami Tanteidan Convention 29". They've been shared everywhere else already, so why not in 4chan?
>>629088Just join the site and get it from there.
Zhezhixueyuan IS a better opion to 4chan. It's a hassle to level up, but it's worth it People there share new stuff, answer requests and actually DO origami.After a first and last glance at 4chan searching for origami resources, I get the feeling it's 99% horders that haven't done any origami in years and trolls with no life other than trying to make other people as sad and miserable as they are.If you came to 4chan looking for an origami community, this is not the place. DO NOT ENGAGE.You've been warned.
has anyone seen that old .pdo of ayanami rei? i've been looking for it but the archives don't work anymore
Does anyone have Origami Aircraft
>>629136It's not available until this summer, so no, no one has it.Right now it's only available for pre-order.
i finished this nico figure yesterday and her right leg needs some support, but i dont know what i could use as a stand, if u have any ideas i would appreciate it
>>628062>>628063Thanks, What are those two characters on your new pic named/from? Also that stand is nice, brand?
>>628064the one in the back with the schyte is dead master from black rock shooter and the other one is an oc by moekami, TipeDOLL-07 (https://moekami.himegimi.jp/download/download.html). the stand is from aliexpress. really cheap
>>628069Thanks a lot and also for the link!
>>628063THE SKIN. THE SKIN. THE SKIN.
>>628063Congratulations on being successful on your project. keep her forever.
This was my first thing made out of paper. I'll probably tear it up in a few minutes, but it was still the first.
>>628307I really like this! it looks cool :D
>>628307Congratulations! It looks great.Hope you continue this project and become a master gunsmith.Just some advice: don't post your face online with guns.
Look what I did, it's a little crooked because the author of the drawing didn't attach the parts correctly.
what do i do now? should i just kms or get a canon printer?
>>628507Yeah, that really sucks. But you can find very good stuff from paperzonevn.com (even canon's creations) or only-paper.ru. Don't worry, with a bit of dedication, you will outclass the beginner's models from canon creativepark.
>>628692>paperzoneThat site is cancer and forces you to remove adblocker to use. Is there any other way around it?
>>628688You have to printer on that Canon printer.

>>629117Very cute. This made me smile
>>629117Oh my god! That’s so cute. Thank you so much for sharing!
Why isn't anyone using papercraft as skin for 3D printed stuff?
>>628637>How do you do that
>>628642>>628637it was for April fool'syou can't do that anymore
Impossible
Are there instructions to this papercraft? Found the post myself, and one of my cousins wants me to make it. Appreciate it

What type of sticker paper is best for making stickers that stand against weather like heavy rain or snow?I bought some vinyl sticker paper and put a sticker on my friends car to test it out. We had some heavy snow and the sticker got a bit muddied. I need something that will really last. I'm not sure if there's different types of vinyl paper or if it's brand dependent? I used to use glossy paper and my friend said her sticker I gave her immediately faded in the sun.
Put stickers on then paint over with clear nail polish, make sure to get the edges too
>>629106By the way don't do this on a car body, just windows, then you can remove with nail polish remover on paper towel
