Scaling inaccuracy

Posted · Scaling inaccuracy

I'm attempting to increase the X, Y scale of a storage bin STL to match a real-world storage bin I want to copy.  When I scale up the STL to match the X, Y measurements, slice, and print, the resulting object measurements are not what the Cura scaling shows:

 

Cura:  X 135 mm, Y 181 mm, Z 76 mm

Printed object:  X 81 mm , Y 145 mm, Z 76 mm

 

Z measurement is accurate.

 

Here's the first part of the GCode:

 

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:35508
;Filament used: 34.6484m
;Layer height: 0.2
;MINX:97.935
;MINY:77.503
;MINZ:0.2
;MAXX:232.913
;MAXY:258.781
;MAXZ:76
;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 4.13.0

 

I'm using the latest Cura version and an Ender 5 Plus.

        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.
