[ADDED] Mirror function

I suggest the capability to create a mirror image of a part on the build plate.

This would be useful to make right hand and left hand versions of the same part.

Or can we already do that?

Re: Feature Request: Mirror function...

This has been requested before ---- someone suggested being able to enter negative scaling numbers (like X scale = -1.000 to mirror image along the X axis) as a way to mirror the print. But I just tried it in 2.1.1 under Linux and you can't enter a negative scale.

For now, probably have to do it in your CAD software.... :-(

Anybody else got some trick? A script or EXE utility to run the gcode through, perhaps?
