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://origamiusa.org/glossary

What 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.

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?

It wasn't bumped AND it's not on archive. You can find anywhere on 4chan.
Also "repost all the time"? All I see is repost requests and no answers.
But I guess that's just anons not caring.

In remembrance of the last paper planes thread, which just so happened to be one of the oldest boards on 4chan that passed away quite recently, this thread will serve as its successor. Hopefully this thread won't be prematurely bumped into oblivion like the last one did.

Anyways, this thread could serve as a sort of "Paper Planes General". Feel free to post your designs, .pdf files, and folding instructions. Anything goes as long as it flies or at least looks like its supposed to.

I randomly remembered that Airigami/Papier Avion was a thing from way back in the mid-2000's. They had a ton of (rather basic) airliner models from dozens of airlines and a really classic-looking website. Fortunately, it seems they're still around on a new domain:

Some time ago, several users contributed various NOA magazines to a publicly shared folder. This is a reminder that everyone can access and contribute to this folder to keep it up to date and ensure all magazines are accessible to everyone.

Currently, we have most of the magazines, except for the latest issues and newsletters. Please refer to the index file to see the list of currently shared magazines.

You can access the shared drive using this link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YYwrQLPUqv-aCvyNbRdNKLSHe7Zb-dXO?usp=sharing

Please note that the folder has read-only permissions because many items were accidentally deleted several months ago. If you have any missing magazines to contribute, please upload them to this post, and I will update the shared folder accordingly.

Thank you all for your contributions!

Hey, issue 48 dude. Do you actually have it?

Anyone happen to have a copy of this promo papercraft for Super Paper Mario? I believe it came with the August 2007 issue of Famitsu-been trying to find it for awhile now!

Instead of that how about you gouge your own eyes out for even asking such a racist satanic question.

Just kidding lol. No i dont have a copy.

These are a bunch of David Graham models, some are free, some are simply cheap. They sometimes come with alternate roofs, like the thatched cottage also coming with a red tiled roof file. And there's often those boxes as filler, which I appreciate.

please don't die, this is relevant to my interests.
i promise i will bump this properly when i have made some actual terrain

I'd rather we share stuff with everyone if you don't mind -- please post the tanteidan stuff here. I have everything except 211 and 213, so that's all I'd need unless you somehow have 216 already.

here's the book: https://www.mediafire.com/file/5g0nyu6mm1qsajj/origamit2025.pdf/file

The crease lines for Wang Hongfang's monkey are also fucked up in the printed copy -- it's not just the crappy scan, not much I can do there...

This seems to be a compressed file. Is there any way you could upload the original, or maybe one that's not quite as compressed? It should be much larger than 7.5 MB.

¡Hola! 1ra vez en 4chan.
Ví una publicación vieja solicitando el Wyvern de VOG 20, lo comparto aquí, donde hay más gente compartiendo.
Recomiendo usar como mínimo una hoja de 32"×32" o un tipo de papel MUY delgado.
Yo estoy buscando el casco de gladiador también de VOG 20.
También tengo el diagrama del pulpo con ventosas en los tentáculos de Joseph Hwang si álguien está interesado.
Happy folding!
