It does if you reflash the firmware. big_smile

I assumed that being called "legs" it was part of a bigger model, like a killer robot or something

Download the slic3r app I linked to.

Run it, and under file menu, select "Repair STL". Point it to your stl, and let it do it's job.

After you try, report back here to say if it worked or not.

Cheers

It will rotate, scale, move your model, and after doing that it will place it flat on the bed. (In some cases in can't do it automatically, but will get pretty close)

edit: If you need to chop a large model into multiple pieces, you could also try the latest version of Slic3r: slic3r . org / download

edit2: Just curious: what are you trying to print?

the picture I just attached is what I'm trying to print, and when I do I only get the green side.. I'm pretty new at this so any help is appreciated..

Anyone know of a good simple app I use to resize and flip .stl files that will print to the Davinci printer? the app that comes with the printer is to limited but I don't need anything to fancy..
