Pepakura

Cardstock

• First time through I printed to normal paper and then glued that to the cardstock. Ended up with a lot of folding issues (paper crunch for one).
• HP 1200 LaserJet printer has a rear panel that allows almost bendless pass through: this is perfect

Scaling

• Need to make notes on scaling and measuring
• The first time I did this I was able to print on 30 sheets, the second time it came out as 54 (parts didn't scale to sheet - did I miss a step?)

Pre-Crease
