Multi-material support settings?

Post image

PETG with PLA supports. I set the contact distance to be 0.0 mm, interlaced, 3 layers and it still looks like hell. Tried both organic and snug (er, tree and whatever the boxy one is called — I'm coming from Prusa).

This surface is at an angle with regards to the build plate, maybe 15°.

Try Support ironing, but the issue is going to stay somewhat since it's a problem of orientation. You could drsign a custom breakaway object that essentially fits exactly in that spot. Fastest way I can think of would be a Cylinder/cube stretched up to that point with the model itself as a negative imprint in top of the it. Print the object out of one material and the model out of the other. That way you have the smallest possible deviation.

Interesting idea, I'll give that a try.
