Scaling problem between Fusion 360 and Slic3r
Hi,
I'm creating models in Fusion 360, but when I slice them they are around half the intended size. I'm guessing that Slic3r is treating the STLs as imperial measurements instead of metric, but I can't find the setting in either Fusion 360 or Slic3r that's causing the problem as both are set to 'mm'.
Slic3r is slicing and generating accurate prints from STLs downloaded from Thingiverse, so I thought the problem was in Fusion 360, but I haven't been able to find it.
I have been able to create models in Fusion 360 and slice in Simplify3D to print on an older printer, but Slic3r and my Prusa mk3 isn't working.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy
Re: Scaling problem between Fusion 360 and Slic3r
Your problem is most likely with Fusion 360 unit settings. You need to check both the default settings and the active design setting to see if there are in mm. Here is the knowledge base article on how to set units in Fusion 360 for the default and the active design.

Thanks - I've just had a look at both of those based on your advice. They were both 'mm', but I'll try printing a new model to see if changing them to a different value & back to 'mm' makes a difference.
