I started using Kisslicer 2 weeks ago. Printed the first few things fine. Some of the STL files I have are printing the objects ti-nee tiny. How do you change the scale of the print to match what the STL file says its supposed to be?

Thanks for all your help.

Make sure your units are correct.

When exporting stl you can select export units, so there could be this issue it export unit is not matching kisslicer's.
To scale you have two options:
- Change the dimension in the height field below the part, on the right of the screen
- Right click on the part on the right ribbon, and select scale by X

You can right-click on the image of the object in the upper right (under Open and Slice buttons) and select Inch -> MM to scale it from tiny to normal.
Your project was probably exported in inches.
