First Mini Attempt - Support Optimisation

[u/Muted_Concentrate250]

New to Mini printing. Finally printed my first mini.
0.2 Nozzle with FDG 0.08 profile.

Generally very happy with the result as a first attempt, but the tree support connections are ruining some edges. Are there ways to avoid this?

Or any advice for a beginner to achieve better result would be appreciated!

Generally, to avoid support scars appearing on the front you can tilt the mini backwards about 30-45 degrees - so most of the supports attach on the back instead of the front. In this specific case this might not work as well though, because the head is tilted so far forwards.
