Dear /po/,

I'm trying to do a giant-size papercraft from a large peice of cardboard, about 6 by 8 feet. Any bright ideas on how to transfer a small, 8.5 by 11 template onto this large medium, without painstakingly measuring everything?

Sincerely,
Anon

if you can get your hands on an overhead projector that will do it, if not rasterbater the item you want on to it, and then there is the best option if you can get a pdo file and have designer then scale it up so however many pieces of A4 or US Letter can fit on your 6x8 piece

Unfortunately, it's going to be a bit tougher than 104875 says; even if you scale a .pdo up, you're going to have a fun time adjusting for the fact that many of your pieces will span multiple sheets of paper, forcing careful reconstruction of said pieces.

Your other option would be to bring the file to a copy shop capable of oversized posters, and have them print it out at that scale.

I think a projector and drawing by hand would be the best way.

Yep, that's the way to do it. You'd just have to divide it up in to two parts on the short edge. Then, it's just a matter of doing the math for the enlargement. Which, by the way, is 847%. It'll cost you $0.75 per square foot, so about $36 plus tax. It might even be cheaper where you're at. You should call and check.

If you want to be super lazy about it, just go to the front counter and place an order for it. It won't cost any more than it would to do it yourself in the self-service area. Good luck!

OP here, thanks for all the great suggestions! I do have some extra cash on hand, so I think I'll go up to my nearby kinkos. /po/ truly IS the most helpful board out there!

print out paper craft on normal paper, grid it with one inch squares. then grid the card board with bigger squares of the same proportion. then copy the content of each square on the paper with the corresponding square on the cardboard. its a little bit of work but its not that hard even if you cant draw and it's alot cheaper. any questions type "grid drawing" into google.
