Peter Yanczer's website is archived under the ETF web site. His page on building a nipkow disk is at http://www.earlytelevision.org/Yanczer/nipkow_disk.html

There are some Nipkow Disk 3D printer STL files on Thingverse. Most under $400 3D printers are limited to about 7X7X7 inches. My cheap 3D printer is limited to about a 7 inch circle.

There are free programs for making and editing STL files such as

You can download a PC version of Sketchup which is good for 30 days trial or use the online version

I think there are some programs which can convert STL files to CAD files
