How to scale down this project for 3D-Printing?

troy_burrows750

I'm not super familiar with Onshape, but I've used it a little. I made this for a careers class and wanted to get it 3D-printed, but when making the design I did so in feet & inches. I don't have a clue on how I can scale it down to a printable design at all, I made a little effort to research how to, but I'm still lost. If you could explain how to (If possible), then please do so. (Or better yet, scale it down for me😊) Thanks!

Your slicer is probably the more appropriate place to do this.

Most slicers do scaling. But if you want to do it in onshape is as easy as using the transform tool.

As what MDesign said you can scale down the actual features itself through Onshape using transform in the part studio however that can get difficult depending on how many parts you have. The preferred method is just scaling it in the slicer software since most slicer software's have that feature but some may be more complicated. For example if you use the Ultimaker Cura slicer or a Elegoo Cura slicer you might need to do some math if you want to scale it by a specific ratio but what's nice about this one is you can set one side length to be the length you want and it will scale everything else for you as long as you have the uniform scaling turned on like in the picture

Wow. That completely slipped my mine! Thank you😁

I scaled parts and not features. It took all of 2 minutes to start the command set the settings and select all the parts in the part tree.
