Cura has a mind of its own. I have now wasted 3 days trying to get it to
lay down, because all the stl files for this project load standing on
edge, to first put the correct face down on the build plate, and 2nd a
101.5% scale up for the XY distances. Obviously there is a linkage
between XYZ that can't be disabled, because anything I touch with the
mouse after setting those values in the scale menu on the left, then
fills those values in again with its own data, ignoreing my choices.
I've looked at slic3r, finally got it running, and the first thing I note
is that the .stl isn't round, but off by .05mm between xy, and while
cura looks like it can fix that but won't, slice3r has that locked, so
you can scale it all only. I can't find a disconnect function.
Not bad for printers that only have 0.1-0.2mm resolution. This is a long
thread and I missed where you posted the links to the files you are
using. Most of these tools were written by re-inventers of wheels and
didn't know what they didn't know yet when they started. I can take a
look at your Thingverse files here and form an opinion.
