Reply to "Boeing 737 3D print"

A millimeter is .0394".... so 1/.0394 is 25.38....*100%.

If I blew it up by 2540 it wouldnt be that much bigger.

I'd be interested to take a crack at the V2 file when you're ready. The extra detail looks great. I was going to print a few of them, but I want to try it with a .2mm nozzle so I can drop the layer thickness down to .08. I'm not sure how much improvement there'll be in the resolution lines but filament is cheap and time is plentiful.

There is some round off error with .0394" =  1 mm. If you use one more digit you get .03937" = 1 mm.... 1/.03937= 25.40005. I did some more research and it turns out in 1959 the US changed the length of the inch so that it would be exactly equal to 25.4 mm. Here is a link that talks about it more.

But all that aside your right it shouldn't be that big of a deal your plane will be roughly  0.023" shorter front to back. Just make sure you remember the conversion you used so that you can replicate it in the future. Some of the tolerances in the model won't be correct if you switch back and forth. 

I hope I don't sound like a jerk in this post. I'm an engineering student and think this sort of stuff is interesting. 

I'm curious to see how the .2mm nozzle will work. I have never tried the smaller nozzles before.
