    I went to print this but the parts would not scale correctly in Slicer. They kept on ending up as tiny pieces barely 1 or 2mm tall. Can you post the original CAD files, or a corrected .stl?

    Yeah, I can post STEP files if that works or whatever file type you need. The problem is I modeled them in Imperial units, but Slicer is assuming the units are MM. A quick fix would be to scale them up by 25.4 times.

    That may be it. I'll give that a shot.

    Posted an update with (hopefully) corrected units so they shouldn't be small when you load them in Slicer. Let me know how then work for you. :)

    You were right, it was the units. Multiplied the original by 25.4 and it measures the correct size. Thanks for the help.
