3D Printer projects from Make magazine and other sources print actual size without scaling.
Makes no sense to me. Any explanation?

Back to the original thread...
I know that number of cm per meter divided by number of cm per inch equals 39.37. (100 / 2.54 = 39.37). However, if ac3d units are in meters and Afinia printer units are also metric why should the use of any imperial units be required at all?
