That's what I meant. When I said "filament diameter' I didn't mean the size of the material on the spool, I meant the diameter of the thread of melted plastic that comes out of the extruder. ...

Thanks. I am aware of what .dxf files are for. I did not say I was trying to 3d print a .dxf I said that I have exported .dxf files from the same software to have things laser cut out of steel...
Printed my cube last night. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used minimal fill inside the cube. X and Y axis was within .005 of nominal, one was higher, the other was lower. ...
So weird, but glad I figured it out. Looks like I can do my modeling in inches, change the units in document settings to mm, then make sure that the units of the stl file is set to mm.
Alright...How about this file? --I found an "options" button in the pop up window to save the export stp file. In the options, the units were set to centimeters. I changed that to millimeters
That's so strange. I've made 3d parts before, exported a dxf file and had stuff laser cut out of steel and the shop who received the dxf had no problem at all with scaling being off by a factor of...
inches cube
Thanks. I'll look into the fusion 360.I created a new part (something to hopefully print a little faster and use less material. a 1" square cube to do some test printing with. I created it in...
Well, I agree, I'm being ambitious when I say .001" tolerance. I think I'd be happy with .01 tolerance honestly. Possibly even .05 I'm not going to be prototyping engine pieces. Mostly...
Thanks for the input. It could be the wall thickness of the bottom of the cylinder, which I think I modeled at 1/8" 7.125 = 180.975mm But, What I don't understand is why the shift at all in the...
Nobody has any input? Am I in unchartered territory?
First post! I am new to 3d printing at home, My wife bought me an I-mate S for Christmas, and I'm using the QIDI slicer software that came with the printer. Upon installation of the slicer...
