Good build quality, acurate, easy to use, and portable. - This review is for the "STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm)", for which I paid £76.34. I love this! It works perfectly, and stores away nicely when not in use. Excellent quality with smooth operation and accuracy. I bought the STAEDTLER LR 661 13 storage bag. The box the board came in fits in the bag and the board in the box. So it is portable and protected. I also bought the add-on STAEDTLER 660 20 Mars Drafting Head which also works well when needed, but I mostly just use a triangle instead. Review: well made, accurate, easy to use - as others have said, if you use A3 size paper you will loose drawing area where it is clamped; I find it better to cut a larger paper size to allow for margins if I actually want a full A3 size drawing - the board is big enough to allow for this although you will tend to go off the vertical scale, so a calibrated set square is advisable well pleased and I agree with previous reviewer who said not to bother with the optional head - I use said fixed set square together with an adjustable one, much easier for me, anyway ( and if you are careful you could try taping A3 with magic tape [not sellotape] rather than use the clamps) ## Features - Convenient single-hand double locking mechanism for setting at any position on the rail - Made out of sturdy, break-resistant plastic - Colour indicator shows whether locked or unlocked - Sheet clamping strips on both sides of the drawing board for fastening of paper - Scale with needle hole for precise compass radius setting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WL0PUM | | Best Sellers Rank | 62,910 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 92 in Geometry Sets | | Brand | STAEDTLER | | Colour | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,194) | | Date First Available | 17 May 2011 | | Item Weight | 1 kg | | Manufacturer | Staedtler | | Manufacturer Part Number | 661 A3 | | Material Type | plastic | | Model Number | 661 A3 ST | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 52 x 37.8 x 2.3 cm; 1 kg | | Sheet Size | A3 | | Size | A3 | ## Images ![STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714EnH2j2GL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KKFrlR7GL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hIyYE4R9L.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s9QezVoKL.jpg) ![STAEDTLER 661 A3 Mars Drawing Board for Technical Drawing - DIN A3 (52 x 37.8 x 23cm) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gscxC7KBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: hi on pictures there are stationary and right angle triangle did not come with my drawing board?????? even on picture on my box** A: I think you might be confusing Staedtler drawing boards with Rotring boards, which latter are provided with the accessories you describe. **Q: Can anyone tell me does this lay flay or prop up slightly ?** A: Hi there. Thanks for your question. This drawing board lays flat on flat surfaces. **Q: Hi there can anyone advise me if the difference between the mar 661 din a3 and the mars 661 pr1 a3?** A: Hi I've never heard of the 'mars 661 pr1 a3' but I do own the advertised mars '661 din a3' and I am very satisfied with it. It can also take A4 paper, leaving enough space to complete a drawing 17 cm wide which can then be scanned and added to a Word document as a .bmp or .jpeg. **Q: My drafting arm has become sticky in it movements. Is there a recommended luricant?. Should I wash it in soapy water or any better ideas, please.** A: The only thing I can think of have you dropped the arm the stop/go mechanism could be damaged. Now try this place the arm in front of you and have it on green turn it over at each end you will see the locking mechanism now move the stop/go bar from side to side you Will see the legs moving in and out something might be jamming them or it could be the curved part of the locking might be damaged run your finger along curve if there is any roughness use a nail file to make it smooth and hopefully this will solve your problem.

Would recommend a separate 45 degree adjustable set square, of the smaller size, as a practical addition. ## Frequently Bought Together - Staedtler Mars 661 A3 Drawing Board, DIN A3, High Quality, Made in Germany, White, Impact- and Shatter-Resistant Plastic, Parallel Drawing Rail, Double Groove Guide - STAEDTLER 660 20 Mars Drafting Head for A3 and A4 Drawing Boards (Pack of 1) - Staedtler LR 661 13 Drawing Board Case with Handle for A3 Drawing Boards --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48693464-staedtler-661-a3-mars-drawing-board-for-technical-drawing-din](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/48693464-staedtler-661-a3-mars-drawing-board-for-technical-drawing-din) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
