Blender 3d printing size issue

I hope someone can help me with this issue. I use blender to create my 3d models. I have changed the measurements to metric, rescaled my models to 1.0, but when i upload them to 3dhubs it telles me that they may be too small to print. Example: if I create a box that is 13cm x 10cm x 8cm and I upload with cm selected, 3dhubs says that the size it .13cm x .1cm x .08 (too small to print).

Does anyone know whats going on here?

Even though the setting blender to the metic system says it’s using meters, it is really exporting the STL using millimeters. Just resize the object as if 1 blender unit = 1 millimeter. Hope this works!
