You import a model that is too large for the print bed. You scale it down by 50%. What is the effect on the model's size?
AThe model becomes twice as large
BThe model size remains the same
CThe model disappears
DThe model becomes half as large
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand scaling by 50%

    Scaling by 50% means reducing the model's dimensions to half their original size.
  2. Step 2: Determine the size change

    The model becomes smaller, exactly half the size it was before scaling.
  3. Final Answer:

    The model becomes half as large -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Scaling 50% = model size halves [OK]
Quick Trick: Scaling 50% halves the model size [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking scaling 50% doubles size
  • Assuming no size change
  • Believing model disappears after scaling
