da vinci 1 how big / detailed with it go before its ignored?

I print a decent print, scale it up 50%, print it again, scale it up 50% more, it no longer prints.

There is plenty of bed left.

How big will the da vinci (I so hate that name) objects be to work? .. big being relative, this is a 45 meg stl file, the scaling averages out the detail. better would be good.

It might be how big the G-Code file is, there may be a limitation on the machine (on-board memory storage of the da Vinci potentially). I think it's size of G-Code, not size of physical print, since you could have a massive hollow cube on your print bed in about 300 lines of G-Code verses the file you're sending which is probably in the tens of thousands/hundred thousands.

ive been experiencing my da vinci resetting sometimes while uploading a file, definitely seems to be caused by the firmware. If this happens, the da vinci will reset, I immediately close s3d, reopen it and once the da vinci is connected retry the transfer, usually works the second time around. I've tried an upload of a really large and complex (scaled up sierpinksi pyramid) and even cad'd a cube that 200x200x200 (build volume of the da vinci) and both uploaded fine for me
