Hi folks,
I'm relatively new to 3D modelling, but I have managed to produce a couple of pieces using FreeCAD.
The first one I was able to upload to Shapeways, and I got a test printing which came out great. The second one, a little different experience...
The piece is (fundamentally) a cube about 0.625" square. Here's a screen capture of what it looks like in FreeCAD:
However, when I import it into Shapeways, it imports as a cube almost 16" square.
I've exported from FreeCAD as both an STL and a DAE file, and both of those import with the same dimensions. I didn't have this problem with the first part, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong.
Any ideas? I know you can scale a part, but I don't like that idea as these two parts are supposed to be a sliding fit between each other (and yes, I'm expecting to have to sand them a little to remove the surface roughness inherent to the printing process)
