I also decided to make the ab plate strictly a foam template for mobility’s sake.
I then was left with the unfathomable tasks of the original mesh. (453,663 remaining triangles)
Which is far too unreasonable for pepakura to manage.

So it is time to Decimate some triangles.
a few minutes in Blender and I have two significantly more reasonable files to work with.

I think I am going to try working with the Medium detail version first and see what kind of end result the Pepakura model results with.
But this is the progress for now!
