Step 4The Cut
If the unfolded model is large, either print it out with a plotter, or (pepakura does it naturally) separate it into pages.
Align the pieces and tape or glue it to the abs plastic sheet. I suggest using some fabric spray adhesive (perhaps those used to adhere the felt to a pool table).
Cut out the plastic with the dremel as if it's a paper craft model, noting not to cut the attached edges. However, cut away any tabs Pepakura has created for the model. We do not need tabs to glue the plastic together. (Do the cutting over the box so the plastic scraps are collected.)
Note: this step is totally unnecessary if you have a CNC milling machine, but then again, this instructable might seem unnecessary since you can mill out the 3D model.
