The Origami Forum

i just started folding this model but on step two i dont know how many cm my measurements have to be, my paper is 30 by 30 cm

The measurements are based on 70 cm. To get a ratio, divide each value in the diagram by 70. You should get a value of less than one. Multiply this number by your paper size, and these should be your measurements.

For example: 5.24/70 = .074857 ; .074857 x 30cm = 2.25 cm

I hope this helps. I love math.

thanks

My calculator says that 0.74857 x 30 = 2.24571! Sorry for bringing up this old topic but I want to make another one and not with a BIG paper.

I dont know how accurate you fold, but when i fold, one twentieth millimeter doesnt make a difference at all...

Haha, i just wanted to be precise. I never used maths in Origami.

Anyway, thanks a lot! Just made one with 30 cm Standard paper. Very happy with it although some of the reference's were wrong.

Heres my fold, the references are included in the video for a 30cm square, which is what I used

Here's mine:
