Lightbulb Finn & Jake - Need little help ...

Hello everybody ! I'm new on this forum and kind of new in the papercraft world ;-)

I found a paper model of Finn & Jake from Adventure Times. It's a PDO file so I download Pepakura Viewer. My problem is that Pepakura won't print the model, the pages are all white ! I also tried to convert the file to PDF but it's the same : page entirely white !

So I'm here to ask for some help. Does someone know how to fix this problem ? Or can someone please convert the PDO to PDF and send it to me ?

Thank you ;-)

Paul

Oh sorry I forgot the link to the model. The designer is x3darts (you can find the model on the Download page of his blogspot.
(I tried to insert the url of the page in the reply but it was denied by the forum)

When you look at the model using Pepakura Viewer are the parts and the 3D view in color?

When you state the pages print entirely white do you mean blank pages or non-colored parts?

There are settings in Pepakura Viewer that will remove the textures so all you will have is uncolored parts that print with just the outline. You have to set materials to faces to get colored parts. Display Settings is another place to check to make sure you have colors chosen.

And the pages prnt entirely white, I just have the page number and the text (no line, no color).

I have this problem with all my pdo files. I can have a good Print Preview but when I print it, it's just white...

Job done! All sorted, but I still don't know why they printed blank for Paul??
My only guess would be a wonky printer driver ??

Ah ha! I may have sussed the problem.
Are you using Win 10 and it's Edge browser Paul?
I just had the same problem on my Win 10 machine.
(It's new. Still larnin' to drive it, so it don't get used much yet)
Installing Adobe Reader and setting it as default for .pdo has cured the problem.
Windows Edge has still got some larnin' to do, I think.

Sounds like another reason to put off Win 10 for at least a few more months.
