			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve seen the numbers reported in pronterface to be all over the map. I just don&#039;t pay attention to them. Have you printed the parts anyway and measured the results? My prints have never been out of scale, even with wacko pronterface numbers.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, I&#039;ve been having an issue that&#039;s really becoming frustrating over the last month or so with trying to setup print sizes. I&#039;ve tried a few workarounds and supposed fixes but no luck so far.</p><p>I use 3DS Max 2011 and Skeinforge with Pronterface to create my prints on a 2nd Gen SD. But this one issue keeps causing me a fair bit of trouble.</p><p>In 3DS Max I&#039;ve set my Unit Scales and System Units to Millimeters. (I&#039;ve tried other combinations including Inches, and Centimeters. One plausible fix was keeping my scales uniform to mm, which hasn&#039;t worked.)</p><p>My measurements will report an object as 90x45x19 millimeters. Once I export the object to STL prepare it with Skeinforge and setup to print the scale will instead be something like 23x19x19 millimeters (Note Z doesnt change). I figured scaling it in 3DS Max to compensate would correct the issue in one manner or another, but then it will be the other extreme measuring 230x230x68mm. </p><p>Oddly enough, preparing a 10x10x10mm cube will correctly print 1cm3 using the exact same setup and process. So I&#039;m really stumped by this issue. </p><p>Any help would be much appreciated as what I am printing is scale sensitive!<br />Thank you,</p>]]></description>
