Slice is right, but print is flipped?

This is what the file looks like directly before exporting. Then, when it prints, it's backward—the 5 is facing the wrong way. This also happened with a peace sign (hand). I'm not sure what's going wrong. Especially since my first print was the Prusa plaque, and it came out perfectly fine.

Right click on the model in Prusa Slicer Editor view, and choose Mirror.

RE:

Use Prusaslicer to open the exported gcode file to make sure it looks fine. 

You may also want to post your 3mf project file here so we can take a look. You need to zip compress it or the forum software will not accept it. The 3mf contains all the settings you've applied to the project so we can check for issues. 

Edit: it sounds like a new printer. You may want to get on the chat with Prusa support, from help.prusa3d.com. 24x7 support is one reason you paid the big bucks for a Prusa.

If it does it for everything then that sounds like the wiring on the X stepper is wired in reverse.  That will flip/mirror things in hardware.
