Neat.

In the same spirit it would be neat to make a replica of Jens Olsen's clock -

With all due respect, Bill, this is a 3D printing mailing list question.

Thanks Dennis and Gene.  That did the trick.

I tried to do that but it seemed all I changed was view but with your

suggestions I found the right button and am printing one of the odd

pieces right now.


Finally I can have enclosures for all these boards I run just sitting on 
top of


the desk.

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

cases, completely tipped over.


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

Bill, you should be able to change the orientation of the part inside the 
slicer.  This is a feature of every slicer I've seen in the last 10 years.

Creality's slicer software is a fork of Cura.

Cura can rotate objects on the platform during the slicing process.  Not
sure I've ever actually used Creality's version, but in the more generic
version I use, the workflow is something like this:

1. Click the object to select it.

2. Find and click the rotate button in the toolbar on the left (circular
arrow); the object is now surrounded by a "gyroscope".

3. Use the arrows on the "gyroscope" to rotate the object.

Seems like there was a button somewhere to pick a face of the object and
make it coincident with the build platform, too.
