The PDFs are of size 762x508mm, or 20x30" You need to print them at 1:1 scale, you can do this with a normal printer by printing them as a multi-page poster
Thank you confirming what i as thinking

It probably could be done, although I haven't tried it. My concern would be rigidity. PETG and other 3d-printed materials are not as rigid as carbon fiber sheet. Another option would be to have it cut via one of the online CNC services like PCBway or others. I have no idea what the cost would be, though.

This plane is on my to-build list. I just don't have the time or space yet to get it done. :)

I completely forgot about pcbway I'll see maybe I can get my hands on a cnc machine.
And I also have absolutely no place in my room so I put some planes on the couch😂
My mom is not soo happy about it lol,
But It doesn't stop me from building more and more planes
Thank you so much ill definitely check out what I can do with it🙏🙏
