[cctalk] 3D Printing

Are there any 3D printing experts hanging around here?  I need help.


I want to print things like a bracket to mount my FreHD in a disk bay.

Some other things, too.  The problem is the STL file wants to print 
these items


vertically instead  of laying flat on the table.  Needless to say by the 
time it gets


to the part where it wants to print the faceplate the object is unstable 
or, in some


cases, completely tipped over.


Is there any way to change the orientation of an object on the table 
using just the


STL file?


I have a Creality Ender 3 printer and their slicer software.
