Photocopying plans?

[Cookie man]

Hey guys

So for my first build I want to use one of the Christophe Grellier plans, my question is how to re-size the PDF on a photocopier to get it full-scale for making construction forms, molds etc?

Thanks.

Print the pdf out in slightly overlapping segments at full size (no scaling) and paste them together
or take the pdf on a flash drive etc to a printer and have them print it for you.

Hi:
PDF files are scalable, that means they print at accurate sizes at any blueprint shop. I printed two sets of the Grellier plans (two copies of each) for around $30 US. You can even just email the files to the blueprint shop, that way you only have to make one trip.

Good Luck, Mikey

I printed out the L-00 pdf at work today in A0. With "No Scaling" it came out absolutely perfect

I printed out the Grellier OM plans a while ago at a print shop of a well known office supplies chain. They were A0 size pdf files. They printed them out with the "Actual Size " setting. Measuring the scale length as drawn on the plans was spot on. I think they were $1.90 per print. I printed 5 copies so I could paste one to the back of the garage door, and cut the rest up for templates.
