Scale all dimensions by 25.4. It was done in "AutoCAD units". If your slicer is expecting millimeters, then it will be too small. STL files do not include a "units=xxx" command. There is a note in the Thing about this. When I get some time, I will convert to 1:1 scale in millimeters, which seem to be what other slicers use as default (mine is set to "inches" so I don't have any problem).
