Printables.com - Request for a feature: show model dimensions (Can be by displaying axis units in the 3D viewer)

I got into many situations, when I saw a model uploaded by a generous user, that is suitable for my needs... that I decide to print it, and I find out when slicing it that it is bigger than my printer capabilities (Original Prusa Mini+), and by scaling it down sometimes part of the model features get wrong. (tolerances, moving parts, etc)

Therefore, I thought that it could help us if we can get some info on the dimensions of the model, it can be in the summary or even only in the 3D viewer, by adding a 3D axis legend, that changes when you zoom in/out or when you orbit the document. (can be displayed in a small corner of the 3D viewer)

Or (/And) display in the 3D model files when possible, the maximum sizes or model sizes, this can be easily calculated and stored in the server database  when the user uploads the files.

Just want to help in improving the site 🙂

Greetings from the Galilee from a happy Original Prusa Mini+ user.
