Fusion 360 Make/3dPrint outputs my 2 inch object as 2mm

[jlucasemail]

Fusion 360 is set up for inches.  When I use Make/3dPrint and import the .stl file into Cura (current release) I cannot find anywhere to do the conversion to metric.

Presumably I could scale the drawing in Fusion by 25.4 but would then have to scale back after the export.

On the Make/3dPrint panel there is a checkbox for "send to 3d print utility".  When this is checked the OK button is not active.  The "download Autodesk print studio" does nothing.  I'm new to this and wondered if print studio might help?

Thanks

Change Fusion 360 units to mm and all will be well. You can toggle between inches and mm at any time in the design process.

use the scale function in Cura, its the second icon down in the menu bar on the left. it has two hourglass shaped items on the button, just hover over it and it tells yyou what it is for

or switch fusion to MM

and you save as STL, then load into CURA, not output to 3d print utility
