Alright, I did a little research and while I don't own a 3D printer, there are various people offering 3D printing services here where I live. (Good to know)
So now I'm curious. While I could use Pepakura to flatten out a model and cut it out/glue it/resin/bondo/etc, how efficient is the 3D printing aspect? I've only ever worked with a 3D printer once before so I'm very new to the process. And away from the printing aspect, I can't create models in any array of software.
So, if it isn't too much trouble, how do you go about making your cosplay? Materials and such.
Or, at the least, what would you recommend a newbie do?

Cool! Yeah I'd say start with a L-200 foam or EVA foam build. You can get a lot accomplished in not a lot of time. That way you can make sumthin', feel accomplished & then move to the next thing. And it's cleaner than pepakura. Start small... say, try making a gauntlet or shoulder armor. Don't worry about the 3D stuff just yet, as that can get very expensive very quick (esp if you're having someone else do it for you) In fact I plan on fab-ing belt pouches & smaller stuff with foam for this build. And remember there are excellent foam tutorials on youtubes, the 405th, the RPF, etc.
