@warzan if I get time this week, I might just put together a video (so much easier than all these words, right?)

There are some important concepts to understand when prepping files (like not just deleting islands because this can actually end up making things worse, than if you’d connected them up in the first place).

Having said all that, I recently bought some Space Marine proxies (Armatis Mors from Print Minis August 2023 – https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-august-2023-collection-316663) and tried your way of doing things – just threw their pre-supported files onto the printer and hit go (they were just test models to try out some painting ideas so I didn’t care if I got the odd failure).

Every single one came out perfect!
(so either I’ve got a super-easy-to-use printer, or some creators are amazing at supporting their minis after all – it’s because of the variable quality of supports in the first place that I always support and prep my own).
