For rotation, simply pick one of the coloured curves (blue, green and red) to transform around that particular axis. You want to orientate the model in a way that overhangs are minimised. Anything up to and including a 45 degree angled overhang is printable, however the more you increase this angle, the poorer the finish. An overhang is an area of a model where there is limited support underneath. Remember when 3D printing, not crucially but ideally you want two things: Firstly, you want the object to sit flat on the build plate if possible, secondly you want minimum overhangs. Once you load your 3D model, the next step is manipulating the model so that you can either continue to work on it effectively and make it 3D print ready or if minimal editing is required then you can simply rotate to optimise for 3D printing and export (Step 10). Finally, Ctrl+Z is to undo and Ctrl+Y is redo To zoom in and out of a model you can use the scroll button on your mouse and to move around the model use the right click. Importing a model is very simple, simply open the software, click Import and select the file you wish to load. This is a great place to start and you’ll be pleased to know that a range of 3D file types can be loaded in to Meshmixer including STL, OBJ, PLY and AMF. Step 1: Importing a model and basic controls
