For my first pepkura project I chose to create a truncated cuboctahedron. They look like this:
I chose this object for a couple of reasons. I like the shape of it, I think it's cool to see so many different base shapes get put together to make a whole object and this spheroid uses squares, hexagons and octagons as its base shapes. I also wanted s a relatively straight forward object so I could focus more of my time on learning how to pepekura process works.
I hadsome difficulty working with this file in illustrator to get all the lines properly set up before bringing it into rhino, though most of my difficulty could probably be chalked up to me having never used illustrator before.
This is what my file looks like now that it has been unrolled and set up for printing:
Update:
This came out looking really nice, I really like the shape itself now that it's 3D.
