Mirror tool settings panel
Mirror creates a flipped copy of your model along a chosen axis and optionally merges it with the original. Useful for creating symmetrical objects or duplicating parts.

​
When to use this

  • Creating a left-hand version from a right-hand part
  • Building symmetrical objects from one half
  • Duplicating a model in the opposite direction

​
Settings

​
Axis

X, Y, or Z — the axis to mirror along.

​
Offset (mm)

Move the mirror plane away from center. Default: 0.

​
Merge

Toggle (default: on). Combines the original and mirrored copy into a single printable object.

​
Flip UVs

Toggle (default: off). Also mirrors the texture coordinates. Enable if the mirrored side’s textures look wrong.

​
Step by step

1

Select the Mirror tool

Click Mirror in the Interactive Tools section.
2

Choose the axis

Select X, Y, or Z.
3

Adjust offset if needed

Move the mirror plane if you don’t want it at the center.
4

Apply

Click Apply to create the mirror.

​
Tips

  • Merge creates a single printable object; without merge you get two separate pieces
  • Enable Flip UVs if text or asymmetric patterns appear backwards on the mirrored half
