I figure it’s something I did but I’m stuck. I tried resetting some things but no luck.

Well, my object printed out to correct size. I didn’t notice it that time, but I printed another object, when I toggled the units from mm to inches, it was the correct size. I’m curious to see if this was a fluke.

That is exactly the same for me. I sorted using the ruler(somewhat) and made a 3” object. I thought the STL format might retain the dimensions but it goes in tiny(and on it’s side). My printer software lets me set dimensions but only in metric. It has an inches/mm toggle but the measurements still show as mm. Shrug. I’m about to do a print to see if it’s accurate.

I should add, I’m still trying to digest this program as a whole, but as I’m still in overwhelmed mode, this is but one of many topics I’m choking on.

I did some searching and didn’t see what I thought I was looking for. The conversations went a bit deep for this user, for what I thought should straight forward. I just got a 3D printer(Flashforge Finder). I have a few years of professional experience(although I’ve been away for a few years) but am new to this program and 3D printing. I want set my scale in inches, work on a 1:1 scale in 3DCP and(if possible) save in a format that will go into the printer SW retaining that info. I would’ve thought this was would be a done deal, but I can’t tell if it’s so easy it’s right under my nose or somehow still unresolved. I’m trying to create objects that will combine with existing physical objects. ATM the only method I have is to start a print and cross my fingers. Any help would be appreciated. Mahalos!
