Default RE: Sterling Corsair Plans

The image in my previous post was produced using the "scan" mode. After printing it, I laid the part on top of the print. Close, but still some distortion. Scanning the part using the "copy" mode set on "actual size" was dead-nuts-on. I couldn't detect any distortion by laying the original part on top of the printed part. My bandsaw skills are probably not up to the accuracy of this scanner/printer, and are therefore the limiting factor. The next time I build an out-of-production kit, everything will get scanned as I go. Easy, too. Put the part on the glass, hit the "copy" button and that's it. Thanks to Ripplewave for a great idea.
