How to orient a 3D model in Prusa?

To orient a 3D model in PrusaSlicer, select the model, use the “Rotate” tool (from the toolbar or right-click menu), and adjust its angle along the X/Y/Z axes by dragging rotation handles or entering precise values. This aligns the model with the build plate, helping reduce overhangs (needing fewer supports) or fit multiple parts on the bed. For beginners, start with the “Auto-orient” function (under the “Arrange” menu)—it automatically positions the model for optimal printing—then tweak manually for finer adjustments.
