I modeled an object in Blender intending to print it, but when I import it into PrusaSlicer or Cura, the dimensions don’t quite match.

In Blender, the dimensions are 178mm x 142mm, but when I import it into Cura or PrusaSlicer, it imports it as 180 x 138mm. I can manually adjust the dimensions, but why is this happening? And will it mess up my fit in the end? Who do I trust here? I don’t want to waste hours printing for nothing.

    firstly check that theres only one object, sometimes i’ve added objects without noticing in blender. if no extra object then prusa slicer should have a scale editor, by default it adjusts all 3 axis’s but you can make it scale 1 axis.

    last thing make sure you didn’t just rotate it which might make prusa slicer measure it wrong
