Newbie Question, trouble with Prusa handle printing
Brand new to all of this, actually had quite a few successful projects so far using PLA. Decided I wanted to move to ASA so that led me to purchase the enclosure and subsequently purchased PETG to print some of the parts for it during the assembly. I was using Hatchbox PETG and have been struggling to get this handle for the encosure dialed in. First attempt failed pretty bad, second got better, third is pretty good but I don't understand why Prucaslicer is generating G code that prints the left side of the part to 3/4 of the P in "Prussa" vertically instead of at an angle and further why this producing a different result. I am printing it with the text face down, the code is printing the right 3/4 of the part first at an angle, then going back and printing the last 1/4 vertically.

Huh. That's weird.
Please share the project file with us (in prusa slicer: file - save project / save project as).
Put the generated .3mf file in a zip folder and post it here, this will help diagnosing your issue.
Thanks!

That was an easy one. If you look at the color coding of the first layer in the slicer preview you see that the area that prints infill vertically instead of diagonally shows as bridge infill. That is a telltale sign of the model not sitting perfectly flat on the print bed so that that particular area is slightly elevated. The easy fix is to use the Place on Face tool (F key) and click on the bottom of the model to make that surface flat with the print bed. Now it prints as expected:
