It would be nice to be able to specify the angle of rotation on the bed when selecting a print file.
I'll explain what it's for: I many print with various artistic plastics. In most cases, these are two- and three-color silk PLA plastics. When installed in an extruder, they are usually placed in only one position. For example, if I use red-yellow-green plastic, then I will always see the red side. And this is correct, since the entire whole print time the filament should not change its position. Otherwise, the print will turn out to be defective, or so-called twists of the thread.
It is very difficult to select and change such a position mechanically, and it is rigidly linked with the kinematics of thread feeding.
In such cases, I have artistic ideas to choose the "front" color. Let's say that the red color is not the face, but the back of the model. Or make a batch of such identical models so that they differ in gradient from each other.
I think that such a very simple function will be useful for many! In fact, you just need to replace the X coordinates with Y during the printing process.
Additional context
If the above really turns out to be useful, then you can also think about implementing a mirror reflection function... It will be useful for cases when there is a g-code for the right model, but you need to print the same left one without much manipulation.
