Honestly making fun of (Americans) people who can calculate fractions based on 2's and only directly count up in multiples of 3's easier then counting how many slices of pie they've had in one sitting but can't ÷/× by 10s is one of my favorite things to do, I'm so happy I got into 3d printing otherwise i wouldnt have understood metric or moreso the point of metric until alot later

I can be a bit based at times but it's really only those kind of people who would take offense to that statement so I think I'm safe 🤔

Ah I see, so in this example the real model would be 2 meters correct? I just didn't quite understand in what context a model would say 1:1 given most Lego models are that of things much, much bigger like cars and such. Correct me if I'm wrong but I can see how this would also help demonstrate the scale of Lego models relative to other models so for instance if you wanted to make your own Lego city you could ensure all your models match the same scale in the same way as hobbyist RC vehicles.

Edit: or does it reference the scale of the models image relative to the actual model? Getting some mixed info here
