Ohh nice, battery pez dispenser!
Is that considered a raft + supports or just supports on there?
Just supports, I had to manually paint them in to prevent the slicer from putting them all the way up the side
In Orca slicer, if you use tree supports and hybrid, an option appears (advanced must be enabled) for something like "Essential supports only". It is so much better than spending all that time adding or blocking supports.
Ooh thanks I’ll give that a try
Would that be equivalent to PrusaSlicer's "automatic painting"?
I have no clue about that. I only recently stumbled across the orca setting while waging my own battle against excessively aggressive supports.
