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.
@@SANTUBE Thanks for the response. I was really asking to get the tech info so I would know if it were possible to do that. I'm seriously considering getting a printer. I recently discovered HEROFORGE.COM and designed and ordered my first mini. It arrived last night and although I maxed out its size for the PREMIUM PLASTIC material, it was still smaller than I'd hoped. I was expecting her to be 3" at the top of the head, but she was under 2". If I got a printer, I could purchase the designs instead cheaply, then print them myself. So thank you not only for the response, but also for the video which let me know that you can increase the size of printed products.
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?
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?
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 ?
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
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?
Like your video...I have been looking for this video on resizing files....very helpful and detail as well....thank you very much....by the way love that stl file like to know where I can get it...I'm knew to 3d printing.....
@@SANTUBE im new to 3d printing, and im currently trying to learn meshmixer and cura. I have a stl model that I would like to scale up and divide it into sections like you did in this video. Do you have a website or service that can do this for me, until I master these software's?
Bro your not getting enough credit for this, it's pretty legit to have this info out. Mad respect.
Thank you.
Great video! Thanks for the help

I wanted the arm to be its own piece but you are right I could have done it that way.

Not during the scaling part, those setting can be adjusted in cura.
thanks so much. me and noob self needed this, you were very helpful :-D
Thank you for this amazing video.

Should not that work?
If our model is already in pieces, how do we scale each piece correctly? Thank you in advance!
I made a 6ft poly reindeer what a pain to get stuff lined up..
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 ?
Awesome!
Thank you Shyla, look luck.
for some reason it wont let me download mesh mixer by any chance can you comment the link to where to download it
its in the comment section.
Awesome video , I’m trying to print a figure at 1/4 scale would this work for the elgoo Mars?
It should, but you have to turn it into g-code.

sorry for late reply. Make sure uniform scaling is on and what ever your x or y or z is times it by 5 and all the other numbers should change as well.
What is the name of the software your using?
Same thing for Pathfinder? Do you have stl file?
Here you go bud: www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-pathfinder-from-apex-legends-articulated-action-figure-96709

Not sure, it should work.
had this same problem -- did you figure it out?
WOW thats a cool one i use Luban to enlarge Models
I will have to look into that but i have been using meshmixer for a while so i am very comfortable with it.
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?
sorry for late reply, ez 25-30 lbs.
What software is that again?
meshmixer.
does the resolution and quality of print decrease
No it does not, quality stays the same.
Like your video...I have been looking for this video on resizing files....very helpful and detail as well....thank you very much....by the way love that stl file like to know where I can get it...I'm knew to 3d printing.....
Not an expert on this:- some bigger parts may be positioned and fitted diagonally on the bed
That is true but again you don't want to cut a model to the full size of your printer. I have done that in the past.

There's a good app on playstore called scale calculator which may help some 👍🏼
I will check it out. looking to print a large scale figure soon thanks.
M to mm 🤣
