Sizing issue

I've been printing for some time now and lately if I load a STL file in, I'm getting a message ( and seeing the print) auto scales 10000x. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

 

Thanks for your help, this will make things a lot easier!

    I think if the print is smaller than a certain size it scales it up by that amount.  which is usually too much.  But I suspect your print's are in being saved into STL files in inches but Cura is expecting mm.  Try scaling the parts up by 2540% or instead when you go to save the STL there should be an option somewhere to set the units to mm.

     

    By the way I think it's 100X (not 10000X).  I think its 10000% (which is 100X).  I'm not certain.

     

    There's also an option in Cura Preferences to disable this feature but then your part may be too small to see.

        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.
