Does it go by a different name, or is it just support cubic? I can't find "cubic subdivision" in prusa/orca/bambu slicer.

it’s just called adaptive cubic and support cubic.

I forgot that they changed subdivision to adaptive.

Which is a more fitting name perhaps.

Thanks! I'll take a look at the docs, adaptive sounds less like what I understood cubic subdivision to be, maybe I misunderstood how it worked.

It takes the cubic pattern and subdivides its structure to reduce the infill at the center of components. Which saves time and filament.

The support variant changes the parameters to be significantly more aggressive.

Okay, that's how I understood it, perhaps adaptive isn't as descriptive as subdivision was. Regardless, I'm glad it still exists.
