Do you cut with, without or on the lines? What is more acurate?

[PaperCraftMuseum]

@UniqueKillerVenus The way it's printed is that you have the edge of the colored piece, and then white space. There are no lines to cut, so you cut along the border of color versus white space. When cutting out glue tabs, it doesn't matter where you cut because the glue tab is hidden anyways, as long as you give yourself enough of a "tab" to apply glue on.

where can you get an ex ecto knife

[PaperCraftMuseum]

@1crazyeater1 X-Acto knife, you can try amazon.com or a local hobby store.

Accuracy is key :)

I'm terrible at the X-Acto knife, every time I try to use it, my paper doesn't rip, instead it just gets some sort of scratch. Oh well maybe it's just old or maybe I'm doing it wrong .-.

@1crazyeater1 I got my exact to knife at a craft store.

@TheAndreij F**k no! The format contains the possibility that a virus can be attached onto the file. So basically, as long as you aren't downloading porn, you should be fine.

Wow, I've been papercrafting for like 2 years, but I've only gone through 3 or 4 blades.

Of course, I only HAVE 3 or 4 blades to work with... :p
