RE: Turning model gets smaller
Can you attach a copy of the project file (.3mf)
so that we can see what you are seeing?

RE: Turning model gets smaller
What do you mean it's changing size? Are you looking at the size boxes on the right? Naturally they will change as you rotate the model. They're relative to the print bed. But the actual dimensions of the model shouldn't change.
If you want to upload the 3mf file, as Joan suggested, you'll need to zip it first because the forum software doesn't accept 3mf files.

Your zip just contains gcode. That is no good for debugging this issue. We need your saved project file. That will be a .3mf file.
