Send mm (or Named Units): Inch STL Files That Quietly Scale Cavities
Inch-unit STLs that land 25.4 times too big. How RUUIPON checks units before CAD lock, MOQ 20.

On this page
The earring was 18 mm in the listing and 457 mm in the STL because the file was inches and nobody wrote units. We will not cut that master and then argue about shipping a door-size tray. Units are an RFQ field.
RUUIPON CAD lock assumes millimetres unless you say otherwise. Shenzhen since 2018. MOQ 20. Drawing deposit ~$50 if we must remodel after a units miss you only catch on the sample.
25.4x Is a Units Bug, Not a Factory Upsell
We compare bounding box to your stated OD. If the box is 25.4x your listing, we stop. We do not "just scale it" without your written OK, because a jewelry bail scaled down with the body may go below a tearable island.
