>>609884This would be sick to figure out on my cricut
>>609884I feel pain in my hand just looking at this but it's really pretty.
Can I ask about cricut from here? My brother has one and I can use it too, been thinking about making one of these panorama things. Is there a wiki or library of cricut files somewhere just like there is papercrafts wiki? I found some websites already but even the paid files are very "love live laugh" or "jesus is life" style of crafts. I want to make something that´s not targeted towards moms.
It's not hard to do by hand and much more satisfying than using cricut. Print your design, tape it to cardstock and cut through both layers with an exacto knife. It's pretty relaxing.
I'm guessing this is being done with a scalpel although it wouldn't be too hard to make a die.
How do you make your figures have more consistency? I have thought about resin but I don't know if it is a good option for paper. What method do you use?
>>619992https://youtu.be/HTgIK1KqU-M?si=lg-An1s9rKh8n285It is from this video
hairspray
White glue.
It depends on the paper, but resin can work fine too.I know of people using colorless nail varnish/polish.Anyway, best bet is to use a little piece of the paper you intend to use, fold a simple model (traditional crane, for example), and cover it with the stuff of your choice and see if it crumble apart, or stay in shape and harden, or any other result.
>>619920Hairspray is the cheapest option. However there are various types of paints that I use for luthier work that also are viable.You could unironically do a paint spray.However it would have to be extremely thin and from a distance.Doing this twice on each side would be enough to ensure it is permanently held this way. However depending on paper the plant oils would be too wet.
does anyone else remember lucky stars? those origami stars made by gently tying paper? bc I've never heard anyone else acknowledge them and i think I'm going mad
man i love making those!
>>616109O_OWhat's on your screen?
>>593161Wow my cousin in singapore used to make these
>>615392damn, that's gorgeous presentation. is there a second sphere inside that keeps the stars pressed against the clear sphere? it turned out really cool
I can really see these as the type of thing I'd get absolutely obsessed with and make thousands of but I've got clinically bad fine motor skills :((( I shall admire them from afar
I have these books from NOA for 1-1003,5,17-19,22,47,49,51,53,58,61-63,66,68,70-72,80-so onLooking to trade with anyone who has NOA 533 and up or ones that I am missing from 1-100
>>621544OK?
>>621458>Want examples of the others?You're gutless, and don't have the cojones.
>>621458>Don't talk nonsense.It isn't nonsense, they do not exist.>All of these are available on some private forums.That's where you're wrong.
>>613918Unfortunately, you're never going to finish this list.
>>621746Well that's of course obvious. It's nice to have the ones that were gently shared, the models are nice to teach kids.
Spot the differences!(hint: it's really just a color change ;o)Get the parts and instructioins to build your own free papercraft LEGO minifigs (and lots more!) from my papercraft webpage:https://ninjatoes.wordpress.com/Have fun building!
>>616903BIG boy
>>616970Hey, I remember him! :o)But was he always so big...? It seems like he's closer now? :opMajora's Mask is one of my absolute favorite games, so I had a lot of fun making the moon out of paper (instead of cheese I guess?). I hope you had fun building him too, he looks great!
>>616970ngl smoothest thing ive seen today
Last week I:1) Fixed all the broken image links on my webpage!2) Paid for a Wordpress.com subscription so that my webpage doesn't show ads anymore3) Got a personal domain name so that now my #papercraft webpage can also be reached using http://ninjatoes.comThe image fix didn't seem to stick though unfortunately, so I'm re-uploading and re-linking all the images again; I already re-did the homepage and some other pages and I'm working hard on the individual download posts, so hopefully everybody can enjoy my papercraft without any issues soon again!Have fun building!
I founded this on Twinkid.Any one has a copy of this lego?
I have been looking forever for this file. Can someone plz just upload the pdf to Google drive or comment the link where I can find the instructions for this?
>>620261>>620271Idk which is which but i emailed Tez back
>>612727have you tried leaving the third world ?
>>620590have you tried telling your mommy you don't want to live in her basement anymore and keep feeding on her breasmilk every day for 30 years now?

Has anyone used just paper to make terrain pieces for their wargame, sort of like pop up sets like pic related?
I have, a long long time ago during my youth when 3D printers were science fiction and I had even less money than I do now. I remeber making foldable terrain for easy storage. Worked pretty good. The easiest is to make box terrain tho.
>>616194Yes.Paper figurines are also a thing.
>>616194Yes, there are a handful of people publishing war game and rpg papercraft. It's a shame it's not more popular as it has some advantages over 3d printing. https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/6291/paper-realmshttps://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/346/fat-dragon-games

Yes but DND maps
I had a question but none of the existing threads are really too relevant so I thought making a general help thread from the get-go (beyond what’s in the welcome thread) would be good so even if my question gets answered the thread can be used for other people’s questionsI’m making a papercraft where I want to paint part of it gold for some extra pop, but I want neat and clean lines. I’ve seen a lot of artists use washi tape to do this in their art and I want something similar, but I have inkjet prints and don’t want any of the ink to lift up. Any tape recommendations? Or possibly other techniques? I’ve done some googling but I don’t wanna take my chances with buying a ton of tape just to test it.
>>610550Your finna seethe though
Have you tried using gold paper??
>>610550I'm stuck on step 13 of Robert Lang's crab from "Origami Zoo". Pic related.I also don't know how that fucking triangle in the middle exists suddenly. It makes no sense whatsoever.
>>619959Never mind, I figured it out. I think he left out an important part of these steps. The triangle in the middle was the key for what I was doing wrong. I KNEW I had done everything correct up to this point, so it was just about figuring out what I missed.
some sites you use to find templates? im a begginer
Today I've found out about the latest tanteidan issue. It has steps for the mosquito on the cover, I would love to fold it. A digital release is not available and single issues can't be purchased; to get the magazine I would need to buy a yearly subscription. Moreover shipments from Japan can take up to three months in my experience. If anyone has a copy I would gladly pay for a scan with Paypal, thank you.
Yo, were the otha thread go, why you always disapearin
Good question
>>621064What other thread?
>>621067Thread about OTM 204 that no one wants to share.
Thanks for the Shares
When I was 10 yo, I got an amazing origami book where I learned about origami "purism" philosophy - always using only one square sheet of paper, no cuts and no glue. What do you think about those self-imposed limitations for aesthetic reasons?
For a while I was kinda into the restrictions, but these days, I've started thinking they can encourage crappy design. I'm more and more annoyed by over complicated box pleated designs that try to jam a bunch of shit into the model, with no real redeeming features other than masochistic complexity.Compare that to, say, the recent 2 piece Kyohei Katsuya designs. To me, his puffin or chicken make for much better origami than some super complex box pleat where you're just spending hours folding grids.There's an appeal to pure origami, but it's disappointing when it leads to designers ignoring folding sequences. When "one square, no cuts" becomes mostly an avenue for making models that are impressive to non-folders, I think it starts getting lame. The point here is to make stuff that's fun to fold, you know?
>>621803Hot take but I just learned about box pleating a few days ago and I think it's autistic a.f., and I much prefer simple organic designsLike yeah complex designs can be cool but I think once you start bringing computer software into it then a lot of the magic is lost
>>620948I don't necessarily stick to squares, though that is useful for standardization. No matter the size of the square, it's still a square to the folds will just produce a final product of different sizes.I've never done anything with a cut but I suppose I would be open to the idea. I guess I have a preference for no cuts? 100% against glue or other outside physical ways of holding shapes or forming paper. At that point it's not origami anymore, it's just a craft project.
>>620948All the complex origami models I've seen start with a square paper. Are there any complex models that start with a non square base? I think Satoshi Kamiya's eagle ray has a version starting with rectangular base to get a longer tail.
>>621901I guess there's Lang's cuckoo clock. Also Maekawa has a couple books of models from 1:sqrt(2) rectangles. though I guess they aren't super complicated designs
What do you think?
>>616454>>616618>>616623Let's see Paul Allen's money origami
Its a cool flex
>>616454it makes me think of ryan gosling... lovely!!
Waste of perfectly good money.
>>616454one time, i was serving on the worst shift of my life. i hope you know that posts like yours help make days brighter. i had received a tip as a little suit, and it still lives to this day in my display. stay you, do this if you want a wife.
The lack of a good /po/+/ck/ thread is absurd...So here goes, food origami thread.
>>619556It doesn't look the same. Is this the pdf that ready made magazine's website shared?
>>619727no one cooks, its all fast food and shitposting.
>>619561It is the pdf for /OP/'s image.

i really wanted to get the model in the pic.But the Changs are making it impossible to get it.first the Baidu bullshit. then the paper tv board bullshit. then the no shipping to europe bullshit.why are they like this?alos looking for youlinke stuff. the guy is pretty good
Did you see this: >>619736
>>619738stfu
>>619738She's right
welp, looks like both ko-fi accounts got shut down recently. it was fun while it lasted.Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
>>620097owned lmaoprobably what he gets for selling so many big names products without permission
There is this beautiful barista at my local Starbucks and I want to let her know I love her but not straight up say it. I want to come in every morning next week and each time give her a new origami. I am new so please give me simple origami designs a woman will like. Thanks.
Soooo how did it go, OP?
>>619545>you could make some little origami things and put them around the house in places she might find themthat's a great idea
>>621475Given that OP has not responded once to any of the suggestions given here, we can assume that it went as well as anyone expected. I wonder if he at least had talked or joked with her before
>>621549OP has never seen a vagina
Origami is not the best way to break the ice with someone but if you are already talking it's a nice small romantic gesture, same as pointing out constellations at night, it helps create a mood.What usually works best is simple things like cute animals that you can make with small pieces of paper, stuff like a cat, bunny or fox.I really like giving out things like this even when i'm not flirting, it always makes people smile.
does anyone have Paper Pendulum Clock kit or pattern? I have a kind of kit book but it quality is bad. pls share if you have better. I really want to make this one. thank you!
>>566406cmon OP it's not too late yet! you can do it!
I don't want her to go :(
>>539494First post in 2025Hope you finish it OP
We are posting in a historical thread nigga
How long does the clock last?
