Unanswered Big Prints & Build Platform

Hello Y'all, I am Derek Robinson, and I just purchased my first Robo3D Printer.

I got a few questions about it.

1When you load a model in Cura when I will be using how do you know how big it will be when the actual print comes out?

2I am going to do a few test prints first before I go diving into big printing with the R1, My question is this on the build platform in the program I.E cura is what 1 square equals 1 inch? I like to do a 1/10th scale r/c car body

Thank you

this is for 15.04, not sure if it changed in 15.06 but:

1) If you click on the object and the scale button it will tell you the X Y and Z dimensions. You can also load the model in Netfabb to see the dimensions



2) I'm not sure what the blocks signify but most certainly not inches as Ultimaker and Cura are developed in the Netherlands. We're one of 3 countries still foolish enough to use inches

 

Thank you man, That helps me quite a bit.

1 more question and I should be good to rock and roll.

Ok how do you determine the size of a 1/10th scale item? say and Radio control car bod for example?

 

Well if a car is 5m in length, 1/10 of that is .5m or 500mm
