X ends are wrong handedness

Hi folks,

When generating the stls from the prusa i3 repo, I noticed the x ends are the wrong handedness.

Here's how they should look, from complete-printer.scad:

Here's how they appeared in the output folder:

(and sadly, how I printed it)

Is this a bug? Anyone run into this?

Of course I probably could just use the parts and swap the sides around, but having anything non-standard like that just irks me, and I consider it to be bad practice.

If you have access to a 3d drawing program, import the parts and "mirror" them and export them under a different name as STL's. Also, export them seperately because alot of 3d programs can't do much else with stl's. If you try to mirror all of the parts they may end up on a different plain and when you load them to print one part may be higher or lower than the others causing a bottom to get cut off.

So I think complete-printer.scad is incorrect.
