Why isn't anyone using papercraft as skin for 3D printed stuff?

I figured you would use the same 3D model, once converted to STL for 3D print and once unfolded in Pepakura. Then just glue the paper on the 3D model (like decoupage). You could paint but some stuff has complex textures, like chainmail.Just needed some model for the post but it's this:

yeah but they mostly suck at it.

For complex prints, it'd be hard to get paper to fit, some sort of heat-forming plastic skin would be better. For simpler prints, printing at all would be unnecessary, you could just fold the paper and be done with it.

I fill them full of cement sometimes, kinda same vein.

Real answer, because if you're already making the papercraft the 3d printing part is unnecessary.

Why cut a skin that's going to look worse than if you painted the model directly?Nice craft

You could use 3d prints as a sort of skeleton or kinda like a mesh for your papercraft but using it as a skin kinda seems unusual or even stupid. It would be easier to just print a full model and then paint it. But it still seems interesting and once i get new filament and get my regular 2d printer to work i might try it given i find such a skin and model.

That must have took forever lol.
You have to glue together tabs at every connection?I don't understand the 3D printing part.
Is it to give structure to the paper?
