    Lightbulb Scale Conversion

    I've seen a few messages about printing a paper miniature of one scale at certain percentages to reach the desired ( 1:144 or 1:200 ) scale.

    I ran across this handy chart yesterday that seems to be pretty accurate.

    Happy printing everyone!

    The chart may be more accurate than your printer.
    It will certainly get you close to the size that you want.
    Check the accuracy by measuring the wingspan of the printed model to make sure that you get the size that you want.
    You may find that it is a little big or small, then adjust the print percent accordingly.

    That's a cool chart!
    Thanks for posting, John.
