1:10 to 1:16

[Sam84]

Hello I am not sure if this question has been asked or if it has been covered but what I am trying to do is convert a 1:10 3d print stug iii ausf a down to 1:16 3d print stug iii, I brought the file to use bits and pieces off of it to use on a 1:16 stug iii which I'm converting to an ausf d model.

The 3d printer I am using is mars pro 2, what percentage do I have to put the measurements down to, to get all of it to 1:16 scale?

Also been doing hinges for the stug iii ausf d with this printer but after resin has cured I keep breaking the hinges, any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Sam

It's simple: 10/16=0.625 so 62.5%.

Hi,

to convert from 1/10 to 1/16 scale, you need to apply a scale factor of 62.5% in your slicer. This is the result of dividing the original scale by the desired scale.

You can use that formula to switch between any two scales: (original scale / desired scale) * 100

Don't forget when you scale down something you are also scaling down the size of holes used for screws and pins

What resin are you using, and how long are you washing/curing it for?

Thank you everyone for your help, so far the parts that I am starting to print seem to be the right scale now. Thank you

The resin I am using is esun- eresin-pla bio photopolymer resin. I don't have a wash for, I just use water then let air dry
