Blender paper model script

Well, I am slowly recovering my dev env on my "new" machine when much to my surprise I could not find emu's script in the git repository link (404 ). I went back through the discussion thread (https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?186071) and noted that emu has posted this as a more current link:

"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/addam/Export-Paper-Model-from-Blender/master/io_export_paper_model.py"
You will have to do a "Save As" on this link, make sure filename is preserved

I'm pretty sure the rest of the man page info is, while outdated, generally ok. The thread at blenderartists is somewhat long, so it may take a while to work through new details mentioned regarding fixes, features, and bugs. I have yet to install it, and hopefully it will work fine (issues might be in that I'm on a somewhat old machine which doesn't support the lastest OpenGL - I did quote 'new'). With any luck I can get back to a couple of open projects that I was working on (I got the files back so far...yeah!)

I use BLENDER to design small stuff and PEPAKURA to unfold.........

I just did the IAE V2500 engine for the A32X series I'm now doing.

Update.
Install successfully. Read the details on the Github logs. The script was deleted once the script was made available with the newer versions of Blender (2.79) as of April. So if you have the latest Blender you only need to enable it from the import export add ons. Some neat improvements from the last time I used it. I now reports failure due to distorted planes and duplicate vertices, also leaving them selected for easy deletion.

If you for some reason need to use an older version (like me with OpenGL issues), you need to use the link above. Of course, if you are using another unfolder the question is moot.

As far as I know Pepakura is still not an option for Mac and Linux Blender users.
