Conversion Scale

How do I rescale a model from 1/66 to 1/60 in Prusaslicer? I'm not sure how to calculate the correct difference and where to add that number to get a scale of 1/60.

RE: Conversion Scale

Isn't 1/66 when made 1/60 just a 10% difference ?.  So making a model 10% bigger should do it.  As Prusa Slicer has the models size listed in % and allows you to set a % difference then just make it 110% in size.

RE: Conversion Scale

66/60=1.1, so you just want to scale up by 110%. Select a part and enter this value into the Scale factors boxes at right. You need to select each part to be scaled individually. Select the little lock icon if you only want to scale in one dimension.

Thanks! I had the 1.1 number but I just wasn't sure what to do with it to get at a 1/60 scale.
