This tool converts a STL/OFF/PLY/OBJ into binary STL Format. The STL then gets unfolded (flattened) to make a papercraft model.
It utilizes https://github.com/osresearch/papercraft and https://github.com/admesh/admesh

Hi Mario, the gitea links give 404 errors currently :-(
Hi, hm maybe server hiccup. But it's online. I can access it normally.
But you can also use the direct link at this page to download the files: https://inkscape.org/gallery/item/16829/inkscape-papercraft-unfold-stl-master.zip
they are equal to repository except the missing version tracking from git.
cheers, Mario
Sorry, still 404. Can you try to access the pages in a private browser window, to see whether it's an authentication problem?
Hi. Found the problem. I was logged in all the time and did not see that the repo was still configured to be private. made it public now.
I get the following message using the included stl file.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fablabchemnitz_papercraft_unfold.py", line 46, in <module>
gc = Unfold()
File "fablabchemnitz_papercraft_unfold.py", line 26, in __init__

hey,
looks like you use Inkscape 1.0? I did not test it with newer version yet because i had no time to migrate all my extension stuff to newer version. I hope i will do it in june or so. Then i will have a look at this too. Sorry for that
regards, Mario
migration done :-)
I get the following error on macOS/Inkscape v1.0:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "papercraft_unfold.py", line 13, in <module>
import d3.model.tools as mt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'd3'"
No preview or execution available. Anything on my side I can fix to make it work?
hey,
i dont know how it behaves on an MacOS because i never owned one :-(. Did you copy the complete .zip file's content into the extension directory? The module to load is included in the directory. the folder is called "d3".
the file structure should be
