Anything designed by that guy in the white glasses will rock, and the guy on the right...he just rocks in general.

Not designed by me, Obi. The guy on the right is one of them, though.

In the meantime: Enjoy yourself with this 8):

The plans are in PDF format - when you select 'Print' from the Adobe Reader you get the option to 'Fit to Printable Area', 'Shrink to Printable Area', 'Tile large pages' and a few other options. So no problem whatever size printer you have.

'Tile large pages' might be in full version.
