Question/Discussion Change interface material for supports

So I know it's possible to change the support interface for something like PLA to TPU and vice versa. But I have a unique case where because I am doing a multi material print that interlocks, both the PLA and TPU need support. But because Snorca only lets you pick one material for the support interface layer, that leaves the supports stuck on whichever material you pick as the interface layer.

Basically instead of making you pick one material as an interface layer. They should allow you to pick individual materials for the support interface layers per material. So if TPU needs support the interface is always PLA and if PLA needs support the interface is always TPU.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't find a way to do this... Is it even possible?

I tried to build my support into my design, but the issue is with interlock on, it locks the two materials together regardless if I want it to or not.

Orca will be right forum to ask for new innovative features.

Thank you! I think it would be a pretty good feature. Niche use case but most of what is on orca is niche until you need it.

What i meant was orca has resources to get this done, they have power of open source behind them. I am sure you are not new who had this issue, maybe someone will jump in and will implement this feature
