I just scale the part. stl files don't store unit so it's up to the saving program e.g. blender to pick the units. Typically CAD programs save in inches or cm so if your cad program is outputting in inches then just scale up by 25.4. Alternatively somewhere in blender and sketchup settings there might be a way to indicate the units you want in the stl file. Select mm.
Or if your part is in cm you might need to scale up by 10X. It should be one of these 2 numbers (10 or 25.4) so if one of these numbers is pretty close, it's probably instead perfect.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
