LOL thanks, even if you didn't read the readme as I see :rotfl:

Oh, I read the readme. I just neglected to scroll all the way to the bottom, once I'd covered the info needed to print and assemble the Whiz Wheel.

Better late than never?

BTW this all reminds me that I did an improved version of the wiz-wheel some time ago but I never uploaded it since I lacked the time to do again a tutorial/manual

I hope that I will be able to do it somewhen

I used photoshop for the pictures and a spreadsheet to convert the required equation to a deflection in degrees for all the required solutions

I then used the rotate function to rotate a vertical line the required number of degrees from the centre which i then used as the base for the mark on the whiz wheel

I used ordinary transparency sheets for projectors (Transparent plastic sheets designed for normal home printers. You should be able to find them in any stationer's) and then I took it to laminate in hard plastic. The result is very, very good. Hard enough to be solid, but soft enough to be cut well with sharp scissors.

Look, these are my wiz-wheels (German and American one):
