    Probably the file. If it was exported in inches it'll be 25.4 times smaller than if it were in mm

    Scale it by 25.4? When you click the object one of the options on the bottom is scale.

    If you can't figure out how to do it in Cura then you can use something like netfabb

    edit: I should RCP more. Sorry about that
