Make supports smaller than the model?

I wanted to get images of the supports before I closed this thread but have not had time.

What I have learned is how much variation of support structure there is between the different presets. I was printing small parts at .25 Draft settings to go through several iterations quickly while I made changes and corrections to the model. Once I switch to the .12 Fine preset the way supports were handled changed drastically.

At .24 the supports were packed together so tightly they were nearly a solid piece, and in many places they literally extended over the top of the model. Using settings I learned about in this thread I was able to get the supports a slight bit more manageable but they still would stick solidly to the model and still wrap around the edge and and build on top of the model.

Once I switched to the .12 setting the supports became manageable and I was able to set the density to acceptable spacing and the supports became much easier to separate. They also stayed underneath the model, no more supports on top.

Supports are going to function differently at different layer heights but there is no situation where supports should ever behave like they do at .24 layer height. My guess is Bambu Lab spent all their time with the settings in the finer layer height presents and didn’t bother with the support settings in draft.
