@blinky465 I’m very rarely getting failed prints. And if I do, it’s usually me fluffing something clear like using too thin supports.

Thanks for the replies all, it sounds like what I’m doing is not insane. I did a bit of googling for tips to using UVTools, one useful thing I’ll try is to set it first to ignore small islands — makes it easier to spot the bigger islands you want to correct in the slicer. This would reduce the roundtrips with slicer and UVTools. Then do a final pass to clean up the small islands.

I find it strange the slicers have not implemented the UVTools island detection directly in as a post-slicing step. It would make the whole process so much smoother.
