It took very little time to start getting amazing results. I have an issue. All the stuff I have modeled is generally not sitting flat on the x/y plane. Is there an easy way to place it on the platform?
I am using repieter host / slicer. In rh, I can manipulate it and get close. But usually not perfect.
In netfabb same issue. And I just can't get mesh mixer to work very well for me. What do you guys use to manipulate the orientation of your models?
