    Jun 21, 2012 - Pepakura help #1

    First of all, im new to this whole making-things-yourself stuff, and i just joined this forum, so if i dont understand something, dont hate me for it.

    If i made this thread in the wrong section please point me to the right one.

    So, ive been trying to pep a mongoose from the halo universe, and so far so good, everything set up as it should be (used youtube and other pep sites for it)

    But, when i try to print the pep file out, it says i have to use well over 200 pages for the file. Which is hard to believe since the model is just supposed to be over 5 cm in height and 10 cm lenght.

    Is there anything in the settings where i can change this?

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris

    Chris, what model are you using?

    EDIT: Found it,

    I've unfolded it in maximal possible scale for A4 paper, as I like my vehicles stuff =)
    You're free to rescale and rearrange parts as you want.
    So it looks like the unfold you got was done at 1:1 scale. Try using your printer settings to print out multiple pages on one sheet of paper or rescale the pages if you don΄t have pepakura designer to do an unfold or rescale of the unfolded file. Pepakura is just abou 40 US-$ a very good investment
