No. You can just configure it like you do with the Z axis.

Your filament guide may end up like mirrored as well. However, if access is not a problem, the extruder will still fit the bolt holes on the printer on the back left side when looking from the front of the printer.

Did anyone ever try to print these: www.thingiverse.com/thing:37117 I tried and failed just after beginning. The Problem is, whatever i configure in Slic3r, it will do an Infill on every layer!!! I dischecked "generate Support material when needed"- no change. I tried 6 times with different settings regarding the infill... no change. What the heck do i do wrong??? Any suggestions?

Support material is for overhangs and won't change anything for infill density. Image below shows what you need to change. Attachments:

Here's my effort using the new Slic3r 0.9.8. I printed the same model you attempted but only got about half way when a glitch in the domestic power supply halted everything. I had to reduce the size by 80 percent so that it would not be too tall for the printer. I printed the first layer at 30% speed with the rest at 24mm/s at 120% resulting 28.8mm/s. Attachments:

Here's our effort so far Looks really good i think, but due to changings at our hotend (added a thermal barrier after those prints), i need to reconfigure the machine by now... We printed with 25mm/s, at 176°C and 85% size. Slic3r is quite a nice and easy to use tool for beginners. But at least i sometimes wish to have more settings... So may i need to exercise skeinforge again. Attachments:

Since I fitted the MK7 gear pulley the printer performance is now where I want it to be. No more filament slipping at all now and printing at 30mm/s. I could go faster but I'll have the people next door complaining about the noise.
I've started experimenting with retraction now, and so far I've increased it to 0.8mm with good results; no stringing at all now.
Your print looks awesome, looks like you have your print close to where you want it finally.
