A little short on time tonight, but I did a bit more experimentation and a few limitations and features have been found. #1: It has limited memory, so if you send it a big print job, it can occasionally just stop in the middle. So exceptionally detailed pages (like the full page 8 of FS' HD...

I haven't really dug into it much as my chest was calling to me to get finished, but from what I was looking at, you can tell pep which lines to cut when you send the job to the cutter. So you can send out JUST the lines you need scored with the blade depth set to not cut all the way through...

Will do! I have to pimp the progress on my chest piece I started yesterday afternoon and cut fully on the CR. [attachment=7356:30550316...9582f7af.jpg]

Looks like the CR has met it's match with the little pieces on page 8 of FS' HD chest. At the settings I've currently got, it just can't cut without tearing up the paper. I'm going to continue to play with it a bit using just a single one of the very small pieces to see if I can get it to cut...

Do you have a link to a particular piece you're curious about? Cutting out a single page only takes about 5 minutes now that I have the system up and running. The application itself doesn't care about the numbers, it just reads the edge lines and the fold lines.

I haven't tried anything too detailed at this point, as I'm only working on the basic armor at this time. Tell me which piece in particular you're talking about and I can run it off pretty quickly and toss up some pics.

I might be interested in doing this now that I'm getting it figured out. I'll have to work some numbers to see if it's feasible. Printing and cutting all the pieces and shipping them out in a cardboard reinforced envelope would be the best course I'm thinking. Personally I know the cutting...

Yes, it has reference marks on the paper that an optical sensor in the CR lines itself up with to make sure you are getting an exact cutout that matches what you've printed.

That it does, in a way. It does jump cuts over the dashed lines, so it's not really scored the whole length, but the pieces themselves are weakened as 1/2 the area is cut. You can kind of see it in this pic [attachment=7352:jumpcutdemo.jpg]

Just to give an idea of time for a piece, as I've never cut it out by hand. I took the chest piece from this thread: http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1648 Resized, laid out, print and cut in about 6 hours. I'm honestly curious how that compares to times to cut the same piece by...

As I can't start my own topic, here's a quick tut on getting the CraftROBO working with Pep Using a CraftROBO with Pepakura I recently saw a video on the creation of armor from Pepakura files and instantly was hooked on the idea. Printing off a copy of the Mjolnir MK VI right bicep on some...
