Going from AC3D to .stl

bfeaver · 9th November 2014, 11:10 PM

I am using an Afinia 3D Printer. I have the AC3D major grid set to 1.0 m and the minor grid set to 0.001 m (1mm). I export my projects from AC3D as STL ASCII. To have my AC3D projects print actual size I must scale them up 39.368 times on the Afinia.

3D Printer projects from Make magazine and other sources print actual size without scaling.

Makes no sense to me. Any explanation?

Blue side up,
Bob
