Mirrored X Axis

Hi guys,

I'm currently using Cura with a MakerFarm 12" i3V Prusa. The way that the MF setup auto home has the X axis end stop on the right side of the machine when you are facing it.
This is opposite of what Cura is expecting so if I put a model in Cura it prints mirrored in the wrong way. I have to do a X axis mirror in Cura to make the text right.

There is a physical modification that I can do to the printer to make it right in Cura, but I was wondering does S3D have a setting where you can permanently setup the printer so that I wouldn't have to do that mirroring? If that was possible, it would be really great and I am a new customer, if not, I need to research this purchase a bit more. :)

Thanks

Cameron

Re: Mirrored X Axis

There is a setting in S3D where you can swap the X/Y/Z axis directions. That way the way you position the parts in the software will match how they actually get printed on the machine. You shouldn't need to make any hardware modifications.
