Unable to print

Guest 2022-5-19 496

Hello, new here. Two problems, model is created in inches, can not get it to import in incnes, not a problem from the softwear it was created in, it is correctly scaled in inches. If is save in MM and import that new model it is HUGE and can scale it down but still not sure if it is going to print correctly.

Second problem, HOW TO SAVE IN .CBT format? Printer does not recorize anything but that and cannot find how to save in that format. I can save in a .chitbox but printer does not accept it?? Any help here woujld be greatly appreciated.

I have spen an hour searching this commuity and have found zero realting to scaling MM-Inches.

Unfortunately, STL file doesn't save metric unit info, you have to calculate the conversion by yourself. The second problem, I assume you mean ctb file, you have to slice the stl file first, then click Save, you will see the ctb option in the drop-down menu if you have the correct printer type selected. Hope this helps.
