Support bottom layers problem

Hi, im having this issue with my prints, im am new in this world.
So this is my problem, maybe a support bad configuration I think.


i’m using a 0.2 layer height(Standard), top z distance 0.4 an bottom z distance 0.2.

Even with support beneath that curved bottom, the part geometry is such that it may never print smoothly.

A finer layer height may print the bottom better.

An interface layer of “non-stick” support, if you have an AMS that can swap between the main filament and the support filament, may make the support separate easier and leave a smoother bottom.

In general, a gentle curve on the bottom of a part, or a fillet at the bottom edge of a part, does not print well. In non-organic-shaped parts (not the one above), using a 45 degree or steeper chamfer rather than a fillet produces a significantly better underside edge.

oof. It seems like that the overhang is actually sloping DOWN which is bad since in a few layers the overhang will be completely on its own before connecting to the legs. I suggest changing the direction of the print. There is no better way.
