Thingiverse question

[Ivan Vegvary]

Is there any way to tell the approximate size of an object on Thingiverse.  Interested in "trapped ball in cube" etc.  I know that I can scale things up in Slic3r, but, all I can do is a percentage of the original.  Still don't know what size of the original.  Yes, I can import the STL into Inventor, but there must be an easier way.

Thanks,

Ivan Vegvary

The grid lines in the preview of STLs on Thingiverse are spaced at 10mm.  Slic3r also tells you the outside dimensions of parts in the lower right corner.  Don't have slic3r at work to see if it gives the dimensions post scaling.

Netfabb free version has a measure tool also.

Thank you Jasay and Mike. I will use the gridlines and Slic3r resource as suggested.
Of course it would be too logical to have the designer/poster simply state "the cube is 1.2" tall". Or the bed for the doll house "is 2.3" long".
Thanks
