Our PDF toy plans easily print full-size to 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 paper on any computer printer. For best results make sure you're opening the PDF file in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program. Sometimes if you view the PDF file in your browser and not in Adobe Reader, the pages will not print full-size.

Our PDF ePlans include several full-color photos of the completed toy from different angles so you'll have lots of reference information when building. Although some customers like to print the entire plan set we recommend that you print only the black and white precision line pattern drawings to conserve printing ink. If you own an Apple iPad or Android Tablet you can also keep the PDF file on your tablet to access the assembly steps and the full color photos when in your shop. Your saved PDF file makes it convenient to reprint pattern pages whenever needed.

YES! Even toys that require patterns larger than what is printable on 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 paper have full-size patterns. For large toys the patterns are made up of a convenient set of 8-1/2" x 11" or A4 printable pages that are quickly taped together by matching super easy to align arrows on each page. It's really fun, easy and accurate to assemble a larger pattern.

Since most of our patterns are designed to be applied directly to the wood and then cut out, those measurements aren't critical. Our toys are designed to use millimeter materials with no adjustments required. Our pattern pages are also designed with adequate margins to print to A4 paper. We sell to customers all around the world.

Our toys are designed to use millimeter materials with no adjustments required:

1/16” can use 3 millimeters thick wood
1/4” can use 6 millimeters thick wood
1/2” can use 12 millimeters thick wood
3/4” can use 18 millimeters thick wood
1” can use 24 millimeters thick wood

All of the dimensions can vary + or – 1/16” or 3 millimeters without affecting the assembly.
