Designs in Tinkercad can be unintentionally rotated, and that makes 3D printing them very tough. Here’s a handy solution that involves the excellent workplace tool.
Thanks for this solution. There should be an "Align surface to workplane" button in Tinkercad, which most slicers like Cura have by default. Absent that button, thanks for this creative workaround.
The odd angles are a common issue I've seen when I use TinkerCAD. I usually have my students ungroup and undo the angle mistake but that gets clunky. This is better, but I don't like them playing with multiple work planes because it's too much temptation to do some screwy stuff that won't print.
instead of mirroring it i had to rotate it since it had words on it but this cleared it up for me thanks!
Thank you for the succinct solution to an issue I've had several times.
Very helpful - thankyou
Tinkercad is wonky on this one and it's plagued me for a long time. Thanks for sharing this simple and inventive workaround
holy moly thanks!
