Sorry @blinky465, had I known you’re working on supports at the moment I’d cut on spellchecking ;), if you see the timestamps on our posts it looks like you may had started typing yours seconds before I posted mine, unlucky coincidence.

I agree with you that it is up to designers to actually add proper supports, just like they design models for FDM printing and advertise them as supportless. I believe in time this will set successful designers apart from, well… others…

The only technical issue I see with this is hollowing – if you set wall to be too thin, the slicing program will try to hollow the supports as well, but this is really minor thing, just be aware of it.
