I might've created a monster!
When I started designing, I pretty much came up with my own technique. I shrink down diagrams to 1/72 and use the measurements and a little bit of logic to make parts. Has anyone else heard of this technique?

Yep, except I enlarge everything to print at least three times larger than intended, and I use a 300dpi (or better) resolution for the image. This allows for much more color depth for shading and highlights. Then I reduce to the size I want.
Also, I create a transparent layer on top of the diagram and trace the parts rather than measure. If the diagram is to scale, this works well. If the diagram has 3 views, all is easy. If the diagram has 1 view, you have to imagine or research to solve the 3d.
