- - How to scale template? by Tim Ber (youtube)
1) Find Template's Size in millimeters. They usually say the size somewhere and what the size is based on; usually it's width from ear to ear or circumference being the "crown" of your head that seem to be the most common scales templates go by.
2) Find your corresponding measurements (whatever the template size is set by, width or circ) in mm.
3) Find Value: 100x(head measurement in mm)=Value.
4) Now divide value by template size: Value/Template Size (mm)=Print Percentage.
5) Open .pdf file in Adobe Reader. File -> Print. Set Page Scaling to "Tile all pages." Then adjust Tile Scale, which is the Print Percentage you found.
Example, using Dali DIY's cardboard head template:
1) Template Size: 170 mm.
2) Head's width, ear to ear: 165 mm.
3) Finding the value: 100x165=16500.
4) 16500/170= about 97. Thus, 97%.
5) Open .pdf file in Adobe Reader. File -> Print. Set Page Scaling to "Tile all pages." Then adjust Tile Scale, 97%. Adjust based on materials/desire. Thicker cardboard? Want to paper mache? Cut off a few percents.
