Using others design

[kathrynjeanjenkins]

Years ago when computers were fairly new, I had a program called Toy’s , What it had was patterns from paper you could color, print and paste on paper boards , and then build the toy made out of cardstock paper. That program is long gone, but was great. I still have patterns, Can I use those to on the laser printer, with out copyright difficulties?,

Unless you’re going to mass-market the result, I think you’ll be okay…

Thanks, was just going to upgrade my mother’s Carousel I made for her years ago out of paper. I don’t think Broderbund exists anymore.

Is this it?

Carousel Spinner

This post made me remember a wonderful software from the '80 that let you decorate and print paper models that you would build into working machines. The Toy Shop I actually built the carousel as a gift for my mother. Maybe some of the templates can be adapted for laser cutting.

Thats my plan, got drawings, now have to figure out how to get them into the program for the laser when I get it.
