CuraEngine mesh_rotation_matrix to rotate 180 degrees

Hi,

I am trying to rotate an object before slicing using CuraEngine.

However, if i try to rotate 180 degrees (-s mesh_rotation_matrix="[[1,0,0],[0,-1,0],[0,0,-1]]") slicing fails.

Without rotation slicing works as expected

Snippet of the output:

"

Progress:inset+skin:1:1 0.276473%

Layer count: 1

Progress: inset+skin accomplished in 0.000s

Starting support...

Removing 1 layers because they are empty

Stopping process because there are no non-empty layers.

Progress: support accomplished in 0.000s

Starting export...

;FLAVOR:Marlin

;TIME:6666

;Filament used: 0m

"

Is there anyone who has an idea what I'm doing wrong. Or is this a bug in CuraEngine?

    Just a WAG here, but since the print origin is at the corner of the print bed (unless you're using a Delta printer), and the rotation matrix is rotating about the origin, then haven't you just rotated it off the print bed?

    Try changing your rotation matrix to rotate about the center point of your object.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
