Hey folks,

 

I have a question about scaling in Cura. Is it possible to scale an object based on the material estimation, e.g., gram.

For example, in the following picture, my object needs 0.04m and 0.3g material Blue PLA. Is there a smart option to scale the object to a material usage of 0.5g?

Because otherwise I have to slice it again and again till I have the right gram.

Best regards,

Tobias

    Sadly I don't think that option exists.. 
    You can increase the material usage by increasing infill or shell counts..  Scaling the model might not be ideal most of the time

    Can I as what your use case is? Usually people ask how to make their prints use less...
