Any way to mirror a print?

I am trying to mirror a print. I am using slic3r or KSSlicer, and either repetier or pronterface.

I don't see any way to mirror in any of those.

My design is in openscad, so if there is even a way to do it there it would be great too.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly ReplicatorG was able to do that. I think you might be able to mirror and save as a new STL as well.

Thanks. I actually found there is a mirror function in openscad, so that is working perfectly for me.

There's probably a mirror function in meshlab too if you don't have openscad source.

Thanks everyone.

Since my design was in openscad, the mirror function in openscad got me exactly what I needed.

I will keep this in mind if ever dealing with an stl that I did not design myself.

Thanks!

flip your y or x motor around or set firmware to invert in the direction needed.

If you'd have the model avialable ( step / STL OBJ) I could flip it for you

Oh, and the current version of KISSlicer also has a mirroring capability, just right click the object in the top right column and it's in the.drop down that appears.
