Rotate my design so it prints flat not upright

callum_wilkinson

I've made some of my designs stood upright but they would they would print better led flat with the base of the 3d printer. What do i do to lay the design flat?

Thx in advance

Most slicers allow you to re-orient the imported object on the print bed, for example by rotating the part 90° along the x or y axis.

If you can, I suggest you use your slicer program to do this. Probably there is a command like "Place Surface On Bed"or similar.

If you want to reorient in Onshape, you can use the Transform feature.  Transform by mate connectors is probably the most flexible/powerful mode of the feature.
