Here's one to add, as I ran into this just recently. Actually, I had encountered it long ago, but it's probably lost in the Home Forum (when are we returning?).
Have Inflate Support accept negative values.
I have a part that has an elevated horizontal, some 3" off the bed and it needs to have a finite perimeter dimension to use as a tool to create a glass mold. The sides need to be high (vertically thick), so I figured that rather than model the vertical extension, I'd just use the Support Interface layer. Problem is, it always exceeds the dimensions of the part. I got around it by going back in and creating a 45° overhang chamfer that inset the lower surface by the same amount that the Interface Layer exceeds the part. The Support calculator saw the now more narrow bottom surface and generated the Support and Interface layer at the desired dimensions. Removing the <0 limitation would cure this.
The Poll looks great! So organized!! Thanks, guys!
I know marlin is able to manage this in the firmware. Experimental though. ..

Has anyone tried to include a parameter for nozzle temperature based on material federate? This would compensate for the change in heat loss based on head speed. You would input a baseline temperature for a specific feed rate, an empirical compensation factor for the material in use, and the slicer would insert heat adjustments into the gcode where feed get changed. This would save a lot of time spent developing parameters for each specific print speed / material combination.Don

My oversampling resolution is set as low as it needs to be without running out of memory...
What were you thinking might help, increasing or decreasing?
and seems more often I see triangle errors... or do I see errors on import when the number is higher?
the "bed roughness" parameter is really great for adding a little bit of extra plastic on the first layer, especially for really thin slices. the problem i have is that when you switch from say .1 layer height to .2 layer height, the first layer is increased by .1 as well. at least for me, it would be more useful to have a "first layer thickness" setting, instead of bed roughness. this way the first layer is always printed at the same height. when it tries to make the first layer too thick, it starts stacking on top of itself and basically looking like junk. of course this can be eliminated by remembering to change "bed roughness" every time you change layer thickness, but it's not always convenient.
on this same topic, it would be nice to be able to specify a vertical gap between the support and the object, instead of just horizontal gap.

I've never noticed this interaction but I print mostly on glass and the bed is made finely parallel to the transport mechanism plane by micing a skirt, so roughness doesn't become a factor.
WOW, do I hate this interface. Try to expand an editing window, the scroll bar disappears, and the up/down/right/left keys no longer work; they now operate on the entire page instead. In order to get to the next point that I want to address, I have to commit the post and then edit it.

I'd wager that doing a vertical gap would be a coding nightmare. Additionally, the printing plane would no longer be flat and, therefore predictable. There would be collision issues with other extruders, etc.
What we really want is a vertical separation, in units of layers :)

Does "Inflate Support" create a dual extrusion overlap between the part and the support? The hover note says it "Inflates the support by this many [mm] in all directions" so I'm wondering if it will do the trick to facilitate better bonding between the dissolvable support material (HIPS) and the part material (ABS).
Is there a dual extrusion overlap setting?
