How often do you fold models designed by others?

Post by newbpcpfolder »

I rarely fold from diagrams, mostly I make my own designs, and I most usually fold Box Pleated CPs.

99% I fold designs from other people and I never fold from CPs.

10% or less fold from others designs, and the other 90% is my own. Yeah, I'm quite lazy in that sense.

Id say 85% is other people's designs, usually from CP. I fold from diagrams when i have them though. Of the 15% that is mine, the majority are quick, mindless doodles. I have done serious design before, but I rarely have time for that anymore because of college.

I fold about 45/45 diagram/cp. The other 10 percent is me attempting to make something and failing. I'm working on that, though!

99.9% of the time I fold from diagrams. I'm going to change that by simply putting in effort to come up with something for those challenges whether it be good or bad just to get me thinking creatively and critically once in awhile.

95% of the time I fold from diagrams of other people's models.

2% of the time I make my own models.

3% of the time I just grab a slice and fold nothing at all.
