While investigating the lower end of practical tolerances for printing mechanical stuff, I am finding that it would be highly useful to be able to scale a part (e.g. an individual imported STL file) WITHOUT losing its supports.
Though I’m doing more auto-support generation, even that requires some manual editing. So when I run a print a find out that it is too small (or too big), and I want to adjust the size and reprint, the cost of doing that is redoing all supports for me part. That’s a somewhat time expensive decision, but more importantly, if I’ve got my supports really dialed in, there is no way other than eye-balling the before/after pics to redo the supports the way I want them after the scale.
Being able to scale the entire part (including supports) would save hours of time in the end.
I suspect/realize that this may mean scaling up supports in non-standard ways. Not sure how easy that would be to implement, but I would be happy to take the extra cost in resin for the saved time to help me find the right scale in terms of print viability and scale preferences.
