Topic: How to change print orientation in Slic3r

Is it possible to change which side of an object is face-down on the print platform? I have a part that I think would print better if it was flipper 90 degrees, but I can't see a way to do that. Any help?

Thanks!

Re: How to change print orientation in Slic3r

just change the x, or y rotation to 90 or whatever degrees after clicking on the object you wish to rotate in the STL objects list.

then hit the center or drop buttons to make sure it is on the bed ready for slicing, depending on where the object was made you may have to fine tune the rotation numbers.
