Which paper weight (70 gsm vs 80 gsm) gives the cleanest pleats in a 2‑fold crane (Model 3.2)?

Quick poll for the origami‑inclined cooks:

  • 70 gsm (standard printer paper)
  • 80 gsm (lightweight cardstock, e.g., Tuttle 80‑g)
  • 90 gsm (mid‑weight, e.g., Chiyogami 90‑g)

Drop your preferred weight and a one‑sentence why. Bonus points for naming the exact brand or batch number you used.

If you’ve tried the Model 3.2 crane with a different grain direction, note that too – it sometimes flips the whole outcome.

Looking for a pattern before I order a bulk roll for the next community bake‑and‑fold session.
