This is better than the hack I just came up with in 99% of situations, but if anyone is picky like me about not wanting to edit the data (and potentially mess it up) before plotting it, you can try [this function I made](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/3d-plots-change-axis-intersection-inverse-axis/51109/11).

BE FOREWARNED: IT TRULY IS AN UGLY, DIRTY HACK AND @rafael.guerra’s SOLUTION IS LIKELY THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.
