Scaling a print

I wanted to scale down a previously printed plate....

I cloned the original resin profile
At the bottom of the cloned profile I changed the X/Y Model size modifier and the Z Model Modifier to 50 (precent)


I then resliced...

This did result in the number of Z layers being cut down and also either X or Y being scaled (not sure which) but not both.
I can see this in the first layer which is supposed to be a circle but with the scaling it becomes very elliptical.  Hence my guess that only one
of X or Y was changed.

Am I doing this wrong?  Do I need to put something in the Override X/Y resolution (which would seem to scale my 'pixel' size which would not be
correct as that doesn't really change.

Thanks
Darren

Re: Scaling a print

If you are using Y resolution on setup page. The resolution modifier on resin profile page only effects X resolution. I think it will be better idea if it could effects both x y but still not sure.

Re: Scaling a print

Yes I am using the Y on the setup page....I really didn't want to, preferring to use just the X/Y but everything I edit the page it puts 0.0000 in as the default for Y instead of leaving it blank then the other changes I make are rejected until I delete the 0.00s so that the page can be accepted and sometimes I forget and my other changes do not take place....so I think either the page should accept 0.000 as a null entry or better do not put the 0.000 in if there is no value in Y.

Re: Scaling a print

You are right, will take care of the issue soon.

Working on pretty big feature for nanodlp on my free time. Will fix smaller issues after that.
