Reverse printed object?
January 22, 2015 03:21PM
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?

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

its also a Prusa i3 but it has only happened on this one object!
Also In cura the object is place in the centre of the bed from left to right but when printed it faces (off centre!) Xaxis rear! rotated 90 degrees !

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

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 ?

It does now, I switched the axis and flipped the connections but now the extruder is playing up (didn't touch the wiring on it)
