Small part to print

Hi

I am getting a FlashForge 3d Printer Creator Pro and I need to be able to print this part.
Heater2.factory
(4.3 KiB) Downloaded 122 times
It is a small tube outside dimensions are .85" x .95" with a .05" wall thickness.

It does not come out right when I try to preview it.

Any assistance welcome.

Thanks

Re: Small part to print

I have a feeling you need to go to Edit > Scale Inches to Millimeters. The software uses millimeters for it's unit system.

This video explains some other options you can use if all of the STL files that you plan to import are in inches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ytvwfCn5g

Scaling to millimeters worked.
