gear_monkey Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Hi all, I have downloaded the plans and am now stuck. How do I print them to be life size so I can lay the templates out on plyboard and trace them?

TomDK Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You will need a "plotter" ... its kind of a large printer, often found in copyshops or also online. For a normal printer, ist too large ... or you have to look for a software tool to print it out on normal sized paper and glue ot. I ordered my plans online, was around 16 EURO incl. shipping and arrived after 2 days. Cheers Tom 1 My old, sold, pit: http://bilder.einzelart.de/thumbnails.php?album=74&page=3
deaconjb Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 G Monkey - you can bring the file to a place like Fedex-Kinkos and they can print them for you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

wasserfall Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 If you have a"digital vector" drawing you could even let it be cnc'd! Might cost you some more, but quicker and very acurate! Intel Core i5-9600K, Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO, 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 WINDFORCE 8G
deaconjb Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 G Monkey where in Texas are you? I'm in SW Louisiana and have a CNC router and might could do it for you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

gear_monkey Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 thanks for the offers to help and ideas guys! I've decided to go with a 2x4 based frame and use the plyboard to go over that. I'll post some pics after I get started. Win 10 64bit; 32 GB DDR4 3200 Ram; ASUS MoBo; 1TB SSD;Intel i7 8700K; GTX 1080ti 11GB; Thrustmaster Warthog;Odyssey + VR
