Centurian I am trying to print a closed cylinder. I.E an end cap. 60mm dia 40mm high. No matter which way I draw it using Via Cad, Slicr always positions it on its edge for the print. Surely printing the bottom first then the sides would make the most sense. What am I doing wrong? I can move it around on the bed but can't rotate it to lay it flat. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Centurian Slight correction to my previous post. Its when the drawing is imported into Host that the change is made, prior to running Slic3r. I also drew a small egg cup and when it was imported, it was on its side.
Repetier Watch out that Z is pointing up when drawing. That is common coordinate system for all printers. You can rotate in host if exported wrong oriented.
