I think there's some bug in the way Blender works when you set "Units" mode from "None" to metric. The measure tool doesn't seem to work properly, and when you type the numbers when moving/rotating/scaling something, it takes the input numbers as meters, even if you've set to mm ("Scale" factor below the "Units" to 0.001).

Basically what I do is just throw the finished thing into netfabb basic to scale it. Given that netfabb is used in my workflow it really isn't much of a bother.

There are many Blender guides including youtube tutorials.

Can anyone one of you explain how the dimensions work in this program? I've set the dimension mode to "metric" but when I export something it shows up x500 smaller in Repetier Host than in Blender.
I also don't see a way to modify data in mm rather than meters in Edit Mode. The measure tool also gives incorrect numbers...
