Bro your not getting enough credit for this, it's pretty legit to have this info out. Mad respect.

[spaciefiend]

thanks so much. me and noob self needed this, you were very helpful :-D

[muhammadsohail]

Thank you for this amazing video.
Question:
When you changed the dimensions in meshmixer with size then why did you change the dimensions again with scale after..Changing dimension once and then you should start printing?
Should not that work?

Nice video.

Do you do anything special when shrinking a large stl or obj, to make sure connections and/or walls don’t just disappear from being too thin?

When you were prepping the chest piece and you sliced off one arm, couldn't you have just turned the model 45 degrees putting the arms in opposite corners and tried to fit it that way without cutting it? Just wondering. Thanks.

If our model is already in pieces, how do we scale each piece correctly? Thank you in advance!

There's a good app on playstore called scale calculator which may help some 👍🏼

Not an expert on this:- some bigger parts may be positioned and fitted diagonally on the bed

If I purchase and
download a STL File of 32mm
(which is 1.26 inches)

can I upscale that
to a Larger Size of 10 inches?

Or does it stay the same size when purchased ?

What is the name of the software your using?

[gokux]

Awesome video, I’m trying to print a figure at 1/4 scale would this work for the elgoo Mars?

[cricrid]

Same thing for Pathfinder? Do you have stl file?

[leachsquad]

for some reason it wont let me download mesh mixer by any chance can you comment the link to where to download it

[chrisfc]

awesome video. question though. when i imported the cut stl files to cura the scale was the same as the changed dimensions i did on meshmixer. I'm confused as to why cura would scale it down when you import it from meshmixer?

How heavy is your model? I'm thinking about creating a 10 ft+ model using the process you have shown but do you think at that height it would easily snap or break outside in windy conditions?

Im printing a madcat which is in several pieces. Its not 1 solid model. I want to enlarge it from 100 to 500 %. How do I use uniform scaling for that? Thanks

[venomxl]

does the resolution and quality of print decrease
