How to make Blender remember STL export settings as default

Question

I model in millimeters inside Blender, for 3D printing. Every time I want to Export STL, I have to untick Scene Units and change the Scale to 10.0. These settings aren't remembered.

How do I save them as defaults?

Solution

Manually

1. To remember unit settings make your adjustments then File > Save Startup File (Ctrl-U)

2. To change STL Export defaults navigate to
   C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.74\scripts\addons\io_mesh_stl
   and open the __init__.py file.

   global_scale is at __init__.py#L166, change default=1.0 to 10.0

   use_scene_unit is below at __init__.py#L172, change default=True to False
