I thought of that, so the scale pdf includes a reference line of specific length. You print once, measure that line, then adjust your printer accordingly until it's on the money.

Unfortunately most don't have the knowledge or ability to adjust their printers.
Perhaps a better way would to be provided with dia. of pulley then give measurement for 10 deg. increments.
For example 6'' dia. pulley = .523" per 10 deg.
So rather than printing it can be layed out.

Just a thought
