Topic: other software for printing?

I have a new 1.0a model .. so far , so good.. 
I designed a simple table in tinkercad, saved as a .stl file and improted into the xyz program.. I am unable to move the object from the center of the build table.. is there a way to do this ? or is there another program that I can use to print with my Davinci?

In addition to tinkercad, I will be learning the 123d from autodesk.. can i print directly from this program?

thanks for you help , this newbie appreciates it a lot

Re: other software for printing?

123d is just a more complicated version of Tinkercad. It is by the same company after all. No you cannot print from it. Unless you want to flash your firmware to Repetier the only other program you can use that allows moving and direct printing would be Simplify3d but it will set you back $150 and you will still have to import STL files as there is no all inclusive package that allows designing and printing in one package.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
