printing at wrong size from Fusion 360

I'm trying to print a part at a specific size.  In fusion 360 and Prusa Slicer 2.3.3 it appears at the correct size.

I designed  it in  inches and get the warning in  slicer that it appears to be in inches and it converts it.  The  dimensions showing in the slicer are per the design.  When it prints the dimensions shrink from 2.12 x 2.12 x 1.06 to 1.75 x 1.75 x 0.717. What  am I doing wrong? I need to have the final print come out to match my design

mystery solved, bad caliper gave bad results

close this out. Turned out to be a bad caliper. I used another one and got the correct measurements

size issues are challenging.  I have found that they often are inches vs metic in the US.
