A special case is when you want to print objects larger than the heatbed. The first option is to resize
the object to a printable size. Select the
Scale tool
from the left menu (or press the S key). Then use
the 3D gizmo to change the scale of the object. If you want to scale the model uniformly, drag the
scale gizmo by one of its corners. You can also change the size of a model along one of the axes by
dragging the corresponding gizmo handles.
Alternatively, you can use the object manipulation window in the bottom right corner to type in an
exact scale value.
Changing the scale of a printed object
If you need to print an object that does not fit the printer at its original scale, you have to cut the
object into smaller pieces. Select the
Cut tool
from the left menu (or press the C key). Position the
cut plane to the desired position or enter a precise height into the Cut dialog window. You can decide
whether you want to keep the upper, lower or both object parts.
