first print ! how to mesure ? Hi, i just complete my first print on my prusa i3 using repetier-host. It's a test part (.stl) i download from thinkiverse i think. How do i find the mesure the part shoud be ? I'm a machinist so i know how to use a caliper but i want to analyse the .stl file. I attach the files.

Take a look at the attached picture, I don't know how that part is 40 X 10??????

X: 20
Y: 29.983
Z: 12

this is what i got too, i download freecad and create my own calibration part and it was very easy to export in .stl, print and mesure.
thanks for your help !]]> charliebe Printing Mon, 30 Mar 2015 22:53:47 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,490058,490791#msg-490791 Re: first print ! how to mesure ? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,490058,490791#msg-490791

Youl need to turn it into a solid and then probably simplify the the part.
Then you can use the measure function and select 2 points, edges or faces to measure.

Freecad is open source.
