The original idea was to photocopy 54 sheets of 8.5x11 paper with 3-4 lines of shaper tape on them. that would give me the ability to cover a 4x8 sheet.
That did work. try it for yourself.
This method shouldn't require the use of tape though. that's my goal.
You can try the pre-made cheap_tape.pdf if you want. No promises whether or not it'll work for you...
customize it with Processing.org 3+ and ShaperPaper.pde.
I made the processing sketch because I had problems tracking because I reused tape in the same Origin scan.
I haven't done a lot of testing. By that I mean zero testing. I just carefully measured the original Shaper Tape after my Origin arrived.
Once I get somemore time I'll make sure it really tracks. Feel free to modify and make PRs
Print pdf from a regular printer
Use tape or spray adhesive to get all four corners of the page secured.
- Maybe do all edges to prevent Origin from ripping them.
I feel a bit dumb for not googling it before I wrote this code...
use these projects.
