hey thanks to everybody who has helped get this repository set up. great idea and hope to contribute content but right now all my designs r very specific to some rotary kilns i have been working on for my cement plant. anyway i thought i would try a couple prints out of repository and every stl or obj file i download is tiny. i am using prusaslicer and for example when i bring in a barrel it’s only 1 mm high lol. i can scale it up but i figure i am missing something. any help appreciated.

thanks

You are correct, all the STL files are in inches but when brought into Prusa they come in using mm so you need to use 2540 in the scale box, that will take care of it. Someday when I have extra time I'll find a way to set the Prusa slicer for inches but for now just use the scale factor.
