I'm trying to rotate the nozzle for a 3D printer cooling fan:
https://github.com/OpenSourceEcology/3D ... nozzle.stl - system info below.
Is the STL rotation buggy? It allows me rotation by a single angle for any of the 3 axes. However, trying to do a second rotation resets the object location to the original, so it is not possible to make 2 consecutive rotations around 2 different axes.
I found a workaround - exporting the STL after the first rotation, and then doing the second rotation in a new document.
Is there a better way to do this?

Re: STL Rotation
2 ways
1) tick the "Apply incremental changes to object placement" box in the placement dialog
2) Use Euler angles
