Reverse printed object? I've opened an object in cura and exported it to g-code but its been printed out mirrored. I've also entered this model in cura but yet its also off centre. Can someone tell me where to look for the gremlins inhabiting my printer? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459110#msg-459110 Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:23:57 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459936#msg-459936 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459936#msg-459936 GRAYWOLF Printing Sat, 24 Jan 2015 08:55:13 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459933#msg-459933 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459933#msg-459933

Is there something in the G-code that could cause this?

No.

I think you have a problem with the direction off your axis. Or at least one off them

When you press + 50 mm for x-axis is the carriage moving to the right?
When you press + 50 mm for y-axis is the heatbed moving towards you ?]]> gforce1 Printing Sat, 24 Jan 2015 08:52:56 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459817#msg-459817 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459817#msg-459817 GRAYWOLF Printing Sat, 24 Jan 2015 03:36:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459655#msg-459655 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459655#msg-459655

X and Y were swapped !
Thanks bud.
Try again.

Huh? If X and Y are swapped, the object will not be mirrored - it will just be rotated 180 degrees.

If your objects are truly mirrored, then X OR Y is mirrored - not both]]> jbernardis Printing Fri, 23 Jan 2015 14:38:54 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459625#msg-459625 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459625#msg-459625

I guess one of your axis (y-axis?)is going the wrong way.
What printer do you have?

Edit: also mirrored prints [forums.reprap.org]

Xaxis rear! rotated 90 degrees !]]> GRAYWOLF Printing Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:29:18 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459148#msg-459148 Re: Reverse printed object? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,459110,459148#msg-459148 What printer do you have?
