How fine is it at your size?

Scaling a design scales its finest detail too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

Size, width × height	Thinnest part	Cut length	Fit on a 12 in sheet	Rule of thumb
1 × 1 in (25 × 25 mm)	Over 1.5 mm	80 mm	100	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm)	Over 3 mm	160 mm	25	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
3 × 3 in (76 × 76 mm)	Over 4.6 mm	239 mm	9	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
4 × 4 in (102 × 102 mm)	Over 6.1 mm	319 mm	4	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
