A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. She also describes how to take Pepakura to the next step and seal/paint your creations. If we were working on armor or a larger piece, we would use fiberglass resin. This method is NOT recommended for anything like a full set of armor because of the amount of CA glue you would need.
CA glue is easier to use, not as toxic, and better for smaller scale projects like hand props, helmets, and maybe some weapons. One big difference between this method and most other Pepakura tutorials is instead of using fiberglass resin, I used CA glue. From that idea, different methods have formed. The basic idea is simple the design is printed out onto cardstock, cut out, assembled, and reinforced. Pepakura is specifically the program used to view and print out the 3D, but the process has taken on the name too. So what is Pepakura? Pepakura a type of papercraft that’s become a great way to create props and armor. She details the basics of Pepakura, the pros and cons, how to scale files, and how to fold them into place. I’ve always been a little intimidated by Pepakura because I’m not even good at basic origami folds, but Cata of OHI Cosplay wrote a handy beginner’s guide that makes me realize I’ve been missing out. The technique can be used to make armor, helmets, and a variety of props. Pepakura is a term that comes up often in cosplay.
