Could you use more peices of paper to make a larger model? Or would that not work?

It's definitly possible! At the 'Origami Deutschland 2010' convention a folder showed me the jump object as truncated cube object. As far as i remeber he used 24 two piece moduls. He used heavy weight transparent x-ray foil. I was really surprised, so i did not make a photo nor i rember the name of this folder

Sara i folded this with tant paper and it's quite stable so printer paper would probably do but i'm very sure because as you know tant has totally another quality

Hm, tant is very strong paper, I'd be quite reluctant to compare it to printer paper. :) However, you are right, maybe it does work well with printer paper. I don't think it will have the same finish, though.

Hi Sara i folded the jump model with normal, thin white-face origami paper and that worket reallly well. By the way i really like the model i have aldready folded 3 of it! :)

Yes, I'd say anything from 150gsm should be ok. If you check http://www.happyfold... you'll notice I actually folded a model from 80gsm paper in combination with 170gsm paper. I personally prefer the model folded from heavier paper than that, but if you use 160gsm for all modules, that will already be heavier than what I used for that particular rendition. :)

Thanks a lot for the great tutorial and explanation, Sara. I managed to finish this before my father's birthday. :)

do you think it would be possible to make small ones out of business cards or r business cards 2 thick?

Submitted by Sara on 28 July 2010 - 6:55pm

The best answer I can give, and probably my most common answer I give to the questions I get asked is:
Just give it a try. Probably just making one module or unit will be enough to judge whether it's doable, or at least worth making 6 units.

Also, the paper used for business cards can differ by quite a lot, so it'd be a difficult question to answer in any case.

Why can't you design a model and make a video of it

Submitted by Sara on 29 July 2010 - 2:31pm

I have designed a model, but haven't made a video on it. Why? Well, one reason is that others have designed much better models than me. :)
However, I do plan to make a video on how to fold my eagle. I'm just not sure when yet.
