You do not need a separate fixed download for every scale. Open a Piccolune maker, customize the wording, select 1:6, preview the design at a comfortable on-screen size, and print it at the correct physical dimensions.
Printing tips for 1:6
Use 100% or Actual Size in the browser print dialog. Test on ordinary paper before using cardstock or photo paper. At smaller physical sizes, simplify wording and use strong contrast; zooming the PDF should still show crisp vector text even when the finished object is tiny.
