Are arc overhangs coming to Bambu studio?

Hi

Ive seen a lot of interesting things about Arc overhangs and I was wondering if there was any word on grapevine as to if/when Bambu studio might be able to implement these?

There are tickets for implementing it in both Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer.

Oh. That’s good thanks. Hopefully it won’t take too long to implement, it looks like it could be super handy

ARC was implemented already in Orca, scroll down the Quality tab, I don’t use BBS so I have no way of checking it, but it would be a massive oversite if BBS didn’t have it also

How well does it work? I’m guessing it doesn’t totally eradicate the need for supports entirely does it?

No but again it helps but the weight and surface area of the model matter more

I can’t find it. It does have “Make overhangs printable” which is (I believe) not quite the same. But that one is also good to have!

Well, scroll down to the very last entry in the advanced subsection

Thanks, OK that one I do have. But it isn’t called arc overhang and it doesn’t produce arcs… From the preview looks of it, I can’t see it working - tries to draw a bridge ending 15 mm out in mid air. It does look like it could help in some situations though.
