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.
FAQs about origamiWhere do I begin with origami and how can I find easy models?Try browsing the board for guides, or other online resources listed below, for models you like and practice folding them.A great way to begin at origami is to participate in the Let’s Fold Together threads >>>/po/lft - open up the PDF file and find a model you like, work on it, and discuss or post results.http://en.origami-club.comhttps://origami.me/diagrams/https://www.origami-resource-center.com/free-origami-instructions.htmlhttp://www.paperfolding.com/diagrams/What paper should I use?Comment too long.

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.
Shit it's been 5 years since I first saw this thread. Takes me back. Different times.
Bump the see the 20th birthday hat in the op
>>609193>>608282>>610828Sorry anons. I've been distracted with other things. The site must expire the link or something. Try this:https://gofile.cc/55YY/trotskiy-studiostar.gz
>>612745Daaaamn, this one takes me back. I remember trying (and failing) to make his D3A model when I was still in middle school. The roster was a smaller all those years ago but it's pretty cool that he's made a few more models since then.
https://gofile.cc/55YY/trotskiy-studiostar.gzIt says file doesn't exist :( Thank you for trying though.
Is papercraft as a hobby dying?
I completely forgot I had comment on this board :o
>>616610I know this is an old post, but is there a guide around for someone who doesn't really know how to do any of that stuff? Self sufficiency is kinda based, but we didn't have shop class in my school.>t. zoomer
>>616862You should ask /diy/
>>591812Thank you anon. This was my first ever papercraft.
>>616917Looks really good anon, nice job.
Let`s start a new thread of origami, to share any kind of book/magazine
thanks for the books!
>>617317You're welcome.
What's a Tessellation?"A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps"And they can be made of folded paper."Origami Tessellations - Awe Inspiring Geometric Designs" And "Six simple folds" are easy enough books to find to start.Please do share books and patterns.
Here's hoping this goes as well as modular gen!
>>616044>>616045BUMPtessellations are fun and easy to work on when you're waiting somewhere
tessellations rockfuck the normies
>>616044that looks like the wool part of Beth Johnsons Sheep model

I have a bag of sorted cardboard from envelopes and boxes collected over the last year .Instead of throwing it .I was thinking how to make some fake book covers to make interesting decorative pieces around the place .Any one have tips and tricks please ?
Take not that I smoke so I could also go up in flames but it's for the art
>>610634wunt
>>610633You should glue them together and make lumber.

>>617275Look at the image and ask yourself the question again
>>617302Would this be too much to tackle for my first project??
>>617303No
>>617303yeah no, easy, good luck
>>617303Well considering what I have read it appears to be high difficulty.

Hello /po/, then. I ate a (delicious) strawberry today and now I want to know about new fruit models in general. I search and search , but the only thing I find are simple 2d models or not very realistic models in general.
Previous thread's life finally ended after 3 years. >>553409Let's start a new one!
>>615972Particularly the part where he folds the corners towards the bottom around 1:20 in this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC_Szxdqh2YWhen i attempt it the paper just crumbles in my hands, i'm not sure if it's because of the paper (i did just try with regular notebook paper sheets) or if it's because of my motricity issuesWould heavier paper be better or worse for origami?
I managed to fold that snake, but I am not happy with the head and eyes. Definitely will try again to improve the result.
>>615977>the paper just crumbles in my handsCrumbled ? Is it too soft (or thin) ? To make that crane, I think any normal paper will just do. Try with photocopy paper.
how to get from 53 to 54?
>>617284if you have the u-form of 52 and follow the mountain and valley folds in 53 you should come to 54 naturally
Looking 4 old numeber of Pajarita magazione: n° 153Can someone pls share it?Tnx a lot

>>617291Other than looking like a cheap logo for a sports team, yeah.
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.
>>612041>Learned quite a bit about processing of scanned images and suitable softwareAny software recommendations or other advice on this front?
>>617027ScanTailor advanced - for basic oprationsScanKromsator - very powerful tool, geared towards djvu creation, but can output pdfs and images tooPhotoshop - look up how to do batch processing with macros.FineReader - if you need OCR, can create epubs
>>612000I have never been to this forum. I have a bookstore though that I just started and I come to this fucking forum and this is the first post presented to me. I've never even folded a piece of paper before.Pretty nice.
I've ordered some old Japanese stuff wanting to unbind and scan them. The one issue I've gotten so far has both book paper and glossy magazine paper bound in a thick spine. Hopefully I don't fuck it up... it seems hot air and gently pulling is the only reliable method?
>>617037hello!
Feel free to post your collections, your works in progress, or your star hordes! You can find lots of inspiration in the old thread (http://boards.4chan.org/po/thread/515222) Remember /PO/ is a slow board so please don't bump the thread. I created the last thread over two years ago. Here's to two more.
