Hi Ed,
No, units do not automatically get translated. STLs are unit-less. You need to scale your object up by 2540%. Or export in mm from Fusion.

That's the answer, Frank. It's printing well now. I'm puzzled why my first print came out OK. Beginners luck, maybe.
Anyway, thanks all for the help.
Regards,

Slic3r
OK, I think we're on to something here. I checked Detect Thin Walls. The gcode file is now twice as big--14Kb, but Slic3r tells me that the part will consume only 10 mm of filament, so it appears that the suggestion of a units problem might be the key.
In Fusion, my document settings includes "Units: in". Does this not automatically get conveyed to Slic3r?
The STL file is attached.
Thanks

Here are a couple of screen shots of Slic3r--one before slicing, and one after exporting the gcode file.
Thanks,

Slic3r
Hello--
I'm just getting into the 3D game. I have an Original Prusa i3 Mk2, and after some learning with Fusion 360 and Slic3r, I produced my first successful part a few days ago.
Now to my problem. My second part won't print. Slic3r seems to import it OK--I can see the part in Slic3r's window. I'm using all the same config settings I used on the successful part. Slic3r runs, and produces
