No need for double posts Nesshi. Robo is in Australia and most likely asleep. I am sure he will gladly address your questions tomorrow.
BTW what do you mean by diagrams?

Hey Robo, what's up with the .OBJ helmet file in the new bundled download? It won't open in Pepakura for me :confused
Also, has anyone had any luck converting the .PDO files to .PDF? I'm on a Mac, so I'm running a VM with Windows 7 and Pepakura viewer/designer. My printer is on the network so I'm having a he!! of a time getting the VM to print to it. If I could convert he files to PDF, then I can just print them from the Mac side... :love

.OBJ is a model file, you have to use something like 3Ds Max (the software i think robo uses for modeling) or someother program.
i should note that the helm in this file is Sharkhead's so just do a quick search on google for a PDO

Ahhh, ok...that explains it. I went through my download history and found a link to the previous helm .pdo file and downloaded that. It opens for me as I expected.
...now, back to getting the flippin' thing to print :angry

you could try bootcamp, and install windows, then pepakura, thats alot easier than getting some one to convert them to PDF as there is no real way to export them from Pepakura. atleast i dont think so.
edit:
Windows 7 is not a great idea... windows xp on a VM is far more stable.

It's been done before, someone did it for the fishhead helmet.
I know because i printed it out and put it together from PDFs.

Finally got it to print! Woohoo!
I have a few different installs. 3 of XP and one of WIndows 7 (I'm a web developer so i need different versions of IE for testing) If i start having issues in 7 I'll move to one of the other VMs, thanks for the tip @Azurial!

np - i've been building systems for a while, and windows 7 is more stable than Vista, and theres not as many problems with it, but xp is by far the most stable, unless you want to revert to windows 95/98, but i cant see ANY one using a 10gig HDD these days
i should note that i use fedora as my main OS mainly cuz its small and it doesnt require much RAM or processor power, fits onto a flash drive with ease, so any one wanting to tinker with it, i highly recommend it or any other Linux variant.

@Robo, I realize the cost would be prohibitive, but man...I'd LOVE to send a high res model of your work to these guys... Passionate about creating

if we didnt make mistakes, we wouldnt be human lol
could send the files in get some low cost materials, and paint to color. although i'll admit, a full steel or aluminum suit would be awsome.

I am using Windows 7 exclusively on my home machine now and have no problems between it and the pep files at all...

Hot glue makes the job easier in my opinion. It doesn't bond your fingers. You have a few moments longer to position each tab glued and it costs a hell of a lot less.
Just my two cents.

i tried using hot glue once.....lets just say i kept forgetting about the hot bit....lol...
i use double sided tape for all my pep building....for those who use resin in their building it's probly not advised as i think the resin might eat the tape but for me it works really well...

Good idea ROBO. Yeah I never actually squirt the glue straight from the tip. I usually have a piece of cardboard as a palette. I then squirt some on it then tip the tip getting a bit on it then I smear it on the tab. Then swipe the side of the glue gun tip to clear off the excess.
Man so many things I just said could have sounded so wrong if read the wrong way. LOL
