I prefer to make my own hex paper, because my OCD demands multiple layers of megahexes on the same grid.

So My Hex Paper has four layers. The nominal base is quarter-inch hexes, just like the stuff included with TFT Legacy Edition. But then it also has a layer below that ("Tiny Hexes"), and two layers above it ("7-hex Hexes" and "49-hex Hexes"), and each layer is megahexes to the layer below it.

Note that you can turn individual layers on or off however you like in Acrobat.

Also note (just for OCD reference) that the Quarter-inch Hexes layer and the 49-hex Hexes layer are aligned with the paper's sides, while the other two layers are rotated by ~19.11°.
