Fuzzrite Layout Print Size

Hey guys, I want to build a Mosrite Fuzzrite clone. I really like this layout:

However, the image size is WAY too large for direct etching. Rather than print it a million times to try to get it "right", does anybody have any information about the proper scaling to use with that image?

Given the "loose" layout, it probably doesn't matter a whole lot as long as I'm not mounting the outboard components directly to the board. Still, I'm wondering if anybody who's built this one has a good estimate.

That's the layout I used to make the BazzRight!

See if this helps you out:
(sorry about the dust)  ;D


Give a man Fuzz, and he'll jam for a day... teach a man how to make a Fuzz and he'll never jam again!

If you don't mind me asking, what's a BazzRight?

Wow, Earthscum, thanks! That does help: It reaffirms that this board doesn't require a precise size, but also reinforces that I can probably print this guy smaller and save space in my box.

The scale I made mine at puts the transistor holes at 0.1 inches. If you go too much smaller the pads may become easy to solder bridge, so keep your eye on that when you etch.
