costing (CLOSED)


Hi all
What is the average cost of , photos to model ready for print ?
What is the cost of , taking a stl file , and adding or taking parts and resizing it ?
I dont do either at the moment but , i have been all over the net getting quotes and jeez , some are , well just lets say , x certificate .
example :: resizing an 88mm figure and making it 140mm ready to 3d print.
For some unknown reason some files i have purchased are very very big
Help and advice is welcome

Hi lon.
at the moment i am learning fusion 360 , but , i dont have printer or software yet .
i have bought a couple of stl files and downloaded a couple , i imported tem as mesh into the fusion , but no joy , and this was after studying video tutorials for days.
What i have done is upload file to online 3d printing service , but 2 of the files are coming up as in excess of 1000mm. and price quotations are 12,000 +
You really should check out Blender : https://www.blender.org/
Its completely free, and SUPER powerful!
to scale your item
- open blender,
- import STL (if you don't see import for STL, you can add the functionality in settings)
- once imported, hit "A" to select all (you may have to hit a twice, just be sure your entire model is selected)
- hit "S" for scale
- type numeric value to scale by, so to make it half size type ".5"
- hit enter
- export back out to STL
