Just press print

I spent a decent amount of time today troubleshooting what I believed to be a problem with my 3D printer slicer. It was refusing to properly slice some embossed letters.


Eventually I got close enough that I decided to run a print and see how it looked off the screen. (Isn’t that the point of having a 3D printer in the first place?)

It turned out to be a units problem bringing vector graphics into my CAD software the whole time.
