Pronterface scaling prints when loading files
March 06, 2015 12:04PM
When I load the attached STL file to slicer to get the g-code and then load the resulting Gcode to Pronterface I get the following message:

the print goes from 228.110000 mm to 271.880000 mm in X
and is 43.770000 mm wide

the print goes from 78.130000 mm to 121.860000 mm in Y
and is 43.730000 mm wide

However the print is only 10mm wide.

Anyone know why pronterface is causing this error?

My...
Slic3r clains the object is 30x29.98x6
It looks about 30mm in meshmixer
Pronterface claims 43.3x43.29 - that includes a printed brim 6mm away from it.

Do you want it to be 10mm dia? or your print comes out at 10mm?

I fixed the issue but I don't know what caused the error. I reset the settings for the print bed and it seemed to work.

The problem was that pronterface was giving these large bounds of where the part was expected to print
