I don't think anyone from this forum will or know how to create pepakura files for things. Usually I just search online for when I need pep files, have you tried the usual ones (405th, RPF, etc)?

Though if it's such a specific character that no one has done before, I don't know how much success you will get. That being said, you can get creative with creating this, finding resources on other characters that look similar and just modifying the pep blueprints either in software or physically when you construct it. For example, things like shoulder pads, breastplates, legging, etc are common to many costumes so you can print out generic ones and just edit from there.

Your character's armor doesn't seem too complex in terms of its folds and contours and whatnot. It looks to me like just getting the basic armor pieces and gluing those leather straps to the edges to connect them. Then gluing/knitting a blue dress for the bottom and a blue long sleeve for the top and a blue hoodie for the hood. For the gloves you can just use white plain gloves for the base and add extra detail parts yourself.

Just a heads up though, pepakura work and cosplay in general takes a loonnnnggggg time. Hours and hours of cutting and assembling. So if you ARE short pressed for time, this might be difficult.

Pretty aggressive for a newb... Anyway you need a 3d model first. Which you don't seem to have, so... Can't really help until you get one anyway. And honestly bro, not that anyone really cares about cheshire, you immediately came off as an asshole. And not the mildly entertaining, borderline friendly asshole, just a regular douche. So don't expect anyone to pop right up and be like 'yeah let me waste my time helping out'. Especially since you barely seem to know what your doing anyway.

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
