Support Overhang Angle
The support overhang angle will work to limit what areas of the object are
support and what are not. A 90 degree setting will only support objects
that are parallel to the build plate, while a 0 degree option will support
everything. A good recommended starting point is 45-60 degrees for most
laments.
Support Pattern
As with inll, there are dierent patterns for support generation available.

Support Density
The support density setting will determine how dense your support struc-

percentage, the line distances will automatically be calculated. You can
