Sized my head and it doesn't fit on the paper...help

[PurpleRogue]

Alright, I got this, I know how to size my head from jaw to crown. I'm currently trying to build the Kelly 087 armor from Halo: Legends and started with the helmet cause I like to torture myself. My issue is the pieces now don't fit on the page. I sized it at 13" which is 330mm and the pieces came out massive.

Now do I have them print on separate papers and then tape them together? (on the underside of course)

Thanks

Do the parts look like they would be about the right size if they werent split between pages? If ao, Some of the parts may need to be adjusted or split to get them to fit right. If you can link the file, I can look at it when I get home in a few hours.

Right click on the side of the screen and several options should show up. One should be to join/disjoin faces. The other should allow you to rotate the pieces. You should be able to get them to fit that way. Also, If you go to print and paper setting you should see an area letting you set the margins. Set them to 5mm. This has the effect of allowing more printable area on the paper.

From the look of the helmet it is quite wide so I would say it might make sense. This is my first build so I honestly don't know if it is.

I did try the rotate and many of the pieces were still too big, I will definitely give the join/disjoin a try and bring in the margins is a great idea. I guess I have a big head lol

Try this file. Make sure your printer options are setup for Letter with 5mm margins. Ive scaled, split, and refit all the parts for 330mm height. Hope this helps. Any problems just let me know.

Holy crap! Thank you!!

I double checked the distance of the opening and it might JUST fit, which of course means I will need to resize and disjoin stuff again but now that I know about the join/disjoin option I think I can do it. But first....pep up some paper to see what size it really is.
