2.0 can be used to just generate a printable version of the instructions.
Heck I’d do it myself but I am not sure I want to risk my development machine
right now.

While LDD 2 does have a HTML export, it has a couple of drawbacks:
- It produces fairly low-res images
- The images are all from the same viewpoint (wherever you’re viewing from in LDD when you export I think)
- The images are clipped if the viewpoint is badly selected
- The scaling of the part images can be confusing
- I’m not sure how it selects which parts go in each step, and if that can be customised
Note that you could possibly get multiple viewpoints (2 above) by exporting the
entire model from all required viewpoints then mix ‘n’ matching, but that could
be a fairly annoying process.
I realise that creating normal standard instructions costs money, even before
they are printed, and that is probably why they went with LDD only, but I think
maybe it was a mistake.
Also, as noted on my latest cross-reference
update, the instructions for the main model (included in the set) are already
available from lego.com as a PDF.
