Slic3r making scales look weird.
May 17, 2013 10:54AM
I am trying to set up a set of army men like robots for printing on slic3r, i have 100 robots each exactly 2 cm high and a little more that 1 cm wide and long in a 10X10 grid, i want slic3r to prin them in hat size but when i import them they are suspiciously small. here is how they look in 3d-max



and here is slic3r.



It is about 11X11 cm overall, it should be taking up at the very least 1/4 of the screen, so what gives?

... scale them x25.4 for inches instead of millimeters ... or better export only one of them and then multiply it into an array.

But only 20mm tall and accordingly thin legs/arms could be a problem for FDM printing confused smiley

You mean like, change100% into 2540%, or 254% or 25.4%(the last one cant be done cause slic3r wont accept characters other than numbers.)

x 25.4 == 2540 %

That makes it too large to fit in the window, Reprap prussa printable area id 200X200X100 mm in theory there should be plenty of room to spare.

Then maybe its in cm instead of mm which would be x 10 == 1000 %.

900% seems to fit rather nicely, i will try to ptint a single soldier in that scale first to check before printing the whole grid tough.
