Today I decided I'd see if I can use #PrusaSlicer on my ancient #FlashForge Creator Pro. Got the hacks installed so it can spit out .x3g. Did a simple print of some action figure and it worked (but can't get supports off). Decide to try real model. Need to orient part face down. But it rotates all wonky. And rotation fields are all zero! Enter new rotation and it moves then zeros out the fields! #3DPrinting

@fozztexx@mastodon.fozztexx.com It zeroes out since the fields are for relative rotation. You can try the rotation tool from the toolbar on the left. It has two modes - if the mouse is on the outer ring, the angle will be arbitrary; if the mouse is on the inner ring, the rotation will snap on 22.5° increments. If you want to place specific face on the plate, there is another tool in the same toolbar where you click on the face with the mouse and the slicer places it on the build plate.
