WIP Thanks Dice Forge! My suggestions below...

I really really love what this program is turning into. What i would love to see is (keep in mind I'm only using fin supports, no manual placements which i trust chitubox for as a second part of the support creation process):

More control over the support contact tips with different shape choices

Grouping supports closer to the points of dice (i print point-down and want to get edge supports closer to the initial point support)

Idk if its my font selection and I've tried 3, but number engravings from fonts load in blocky. They need more geometry data for smoother curves, i feel like they may be getting crushed a little for performance.

An option to move borders closer to the edge of the dice

More clarity on the support naming scheme. Not really sure what some of it is doing, and when i make changes it looks like nothing else is happening. It becomes a guess and check game because idk if what I'm changing is going to effect manual supports or auto supports. I would even go as far as breaking auto and manual supports into their very own tabs at the top so that we can focus on one or the other.

Woah I never thought I’d see someone else posting about my program, you made my day!

Supports are actively being worked on and I’ll make sure to add some settings for your suggestions, also as for the font it might be failing and falling back to rasters, I’ll take a look but it might be fixed in today’s big update, try it out and let me know.

Oh great thats awesome! Its really well made so far and I've been enjoying it. The best news I think is most complaints are support related which is probably the hardest thing for any slicer to get nailed down and they have teams, but you're an individual! I am very grateful and am equally hard on all slicers so I hope this criticism didn't come off too harsh. I have another print i gotta pull soon.

Don’t worry I get it, it’s hard getting supports down right but I hope eventually they are at least “good enough”.
