Model not fitting within "cube" in Cura

Posted · Model not fitting within "cube" in Cura

Hello

I am wondering what to do when a model doesn't fit within the visual print "cube" in Cura.

 

For example, I open an .stl in Cure and sometimes the model is outside this "cube"

 

Sometimes the model is clearly to big, so I click on it and scale it.  However even though visually it is much smaller and should easily 'fit' inside the cube, the model sits to the right, and it cannot be sliced (gives an error).

 

Is there a way to correct this situation?

 

Or does this imply the model/file is incompatible with my printer and can not be used (even is scaled, adjusted etc)

 

Thank you

        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.
