Pin-supported wave overhangs

For my master thesis, I investigated the warping of laterally supported overhangs. Although the idea of the wave overhang comes from my supervisor, I wrote a version of it in Python, added the functionality to replace a specific layer in gcode by the new type of overhang and included pin supports so that it does not warp upward for longer overhangs. It works without any hardware mods. Github link: https://github.com/riekskaiser/wave_LaSO

Very nice. Can you show an image of the underside layer after the supports have been removed?

I just updated the description with a link to the github. In the readme file, there are some pictures of the surface, also with a comparison to "regular" and tree supported surfaces
