They did that over at thedentedhelmet.com. All the PDF templates are consolidated into one thread for everyone to use. |

Re: WHAT Is Pepakura, And How Do I Get Involved???
The only problem with a pdf library is that the scale of a .pdo that is converted to .pdf is a pain in the crotch to re-scale outside of pep designer. You might end up looking like a bobble head or worse depending on the file you choose.
I recommend finding the files you want and having someone scale them for you. |

Waybe is similar to Pepakura and it is Mac friendly!

Question re. Pepakura Desinger
I did a search on the site, and have clicked randomly on buttons in the program like a good little geek with no joy.
Can anyone tell me if there's settings to change, or a way to increase the size of and/or move the edge numbers in Pep? When I was 25 I'm sure they would have been OK (perhaps), but that was 20 years ago and the eyes aren't what they used to be. What I'd like to do is both increase font size for the edge numbers, and perhaps move them so there's no overlap on small pieces. |

Re: Question re. Pepakura Desinger
Not much you can do for the overlap but the font size should be under "line settings" in the 2D window tab.
Might be "Line Properties" depending on what version you have. |

iron man pep question
I'm new to the world of pep and I'm sitting here with a table full of cut out pieces and I have no idea where to start. It's hard to identify which piece goes where.
Any suggestions on where to start? low or high numbers first? I'm spending half my time just finding two pieces that match. |

Re: iron man pep question
Just start...the more piece you put together the fewer you'll have to look through when looking for your next piece. I usually try to start at a distinctive part (Iron Man's "face" for example) rather than going by the order of the numbers.
I've never once kept the pepakura program open while working. Just keep at it. It seems daunting, but you can only move forward by just doing it. On another note, people have requested a pepakura sub-forum, but I think we need a complete Iron Man Pep subforum. ![]() There seems to be a million of these threads anymore. -Nick |

Re: iron man pep question
What I like to do is seperate each piece out by page. I build by keeping the pepakura program open and matching up piece by piece and line things up that way. I actually use my cricut as a plotter and cutter so I don't even have numbers when I put pieces together but I find as long as I keep things seperated by page and use the pepakura software as a guide it's easy to get pieces together.

Re: iron man pep question
I think you should be more concerned about what type fold that you have to do for the sections. You just have to make sure you know about the mountain folds and valley folds.
And now that the Cricut is brought up, I actually thought about that 'cause my sister has 3 different sizes. Dancing Fool if you don't mind can you post up more about how to cut the Pep program it with Cricut? |

Then you load up the emf in adobe illustrator or another vector editing package. Unfortunately since Pepakura exports it as one big file you have to manually seperate it into the seperate pages. Export each of these seperate pages as an SVG file. Then you can load up the SVG's in either Make The Cut or Sure Cuts a Lot, they're both software packages for cutting out custom shapes on the Cricut. I then do one pass with the pen attachment so I can plot all the lines, and then do a second pass with the cutting blade attached. |
