Hi @upsman,

 

Wellcome in here.

As I am one working with electronics for quite some years, sure know the wording "invert". But wondering that would not  a "mirrow" of your object do what you want?

The slicer Ultimaker have is named Cura and Cura can mirrow an object in stl format.

 

Hope this is what you're looking for.

 

Thanks

Torgeir

If you click on an object loaded into cura, on the left side are move tool, scale tool, and mirror tool.  Use the mirror tool.

Those red/green/blue blocks are arrows.  Click on the arrow you want for which direction you want to mirror.  I mean you can click on any of the 6 arrows but it's faster (no rotations needed) if you choose a green or red one.

 

It works the same way as the scaling and the moving tools.

 

Actually, once you see the red/green/blue arrows, right click anywhere on the 3d display and drag so that you can orbit around your part.  Once you start orbiting, the 3d nature of those "blocks" becomes more apparent.
