Hey I want to print the falcon Maltese, but its too big, so I want to change the size to 50 procent. How or where do I do it in slic3r, pronterface or repetier host.

Best regards

Hi,

You do that in slic3r
Select the "Plater" tab and load your file
Then select "Scale" and enter the value in %
Then slice it by selecting "Export G-Code" smiling smiley

Since you've mentioned Repetier-Host, you can also scale directly in the 3d view. Another handy feature I use with long narrow objects is the Rotate around Z axis. It allows you to fit longer objects diagonally on the bed, squeezing every last mm out of the space! smiling smiley
