Hard copies of tutorials

Hi All,

Is there a source or method to get hard copies of some of the tutorials. " Working with Homing " is
at the top of my want list. Would be handing having a print out of the instructions while working at the machine.

Thanks !
Brian

I’m afraid that what we have online is it.

They seem to print out pretty well if you print to a tabloid sized landscape PDF, then print that to fit to a letter-sized page.

Alternately, copy everything, paste it into a Word .doc and arrange as desired.

I’ve suggested working up a print-oriented cascading style sheet (CSS), but there doesn’t seem to be much interest in it — I’ve also suggested my working up a custom LaTeX package which would allow us to create nice PDFs from the source, but again, no interest.

Thanks Will,
Got the copy and paste to Word.doc to work good enough. New trick I did not know about.

Thanks, Brian
PS: Us older folk need more memory assistance ! :grin:

Alternatively one could use a free online web-to-pdf converter. There are a number of them on the internet, the following are two such examples:

While not perfect (they unfortunately tend to make page breaks in inconvenient places) they are a lot less time consuming than the copy-to-.doc operation.
