Is there anyway to change the orientation of a print in Octoprint? Or a way to see a 3d model of the print instead of each line? My prints keep prining with like one edge on the bed.

You can slice a model using OctoPrint. You can view STL files using OctoPrint. You can do limited top down viewing of selected heights of a gcode file using OctoPrint. If you have pre-sliced gcode that you want to see where it is on the bed, try the gcode viewer.

@NathanielStenzel ok, so if I move the object where I want, slice in cura, and upload the gcode. It will print in the same position as on cura?

It should. That means that it is important to slice for a relatively similar printer bed unless your printer has the option of adjusting the print location from its control panel.

There are multiple plugins that will give you a visual slicer/manipulator tool. I think the M33-Fio plugin is one of them, look under OctoPrint in the plugins section of the settings. Only really useful if you’re using the Cura plugin from within octoprint to also slice.

It’s a plugin meant for the “M3D”…but it works with other printers too.

@ThantiK cool I give it a look, thanks
