Are you scaling them up, or down? I scaled mine down with no problems.
My original wheel came out to 16 cm in diameter, the new smaller one is about 12.5 cm in diameter. I made a temporary 'pocket version' of the back side (the slide rule/"omnimeter" part, and it was usable (in good light!). I didn't seem to get any aliasing.

Any tips?  |
That I can't really help you with. I've had the same sort of effect, except that my printer 'drags' ever so slightly with cardstock, so that the wheels are *VERY* slightly out of round. This is less of a problem the smaller I go, of course. It is very annoying and noticeable when I try and make a full size circular slide rule.
My best advice is to either be a little generous in cutting with the scissors, or go ahead and fiddle with the sizes of the inner wheels, scaling them *SLIGHTLY* larger (it won't affect the accuracy).
