Load your model into NetFabb.
The z axis in NetFabb is the 'up' direction on Shapeways website.
Use the rotate function ctrl+d or from the Part menu to rotate the model to the correct orientation.
To save your model, head back to the Part menu and select 'export as'
Upload the new model to Shapeways & job done Smile
