I print my models a 60 percent for 1:3148. 1:3000 should be about 62% I think

To get your models at 1:2000 what you do is get that scale ruler thing that people use to make their models (search it on the Forum). Then you make every 100 meters equal to 5 centimeters. Do this on Microsoft word or Pages using the side ruler. Then all you do is paste your models and try to get them to scale using the now 1:2000 ruler.

Just do the math.

If you want to get a 2000:1 or 3000:1 model out of 1889:1 model, here's the equation. This is an example for a 1889:1 to 2000:1 model.


1889:1 = 2000: x
1x = 2000/1889
x ≒ 1.06

so the differece between 1889:1 and 2000:1 model is aproximately 6%.

∴ print 1889:1 model at 94% to get a 2000:1 model.
