More support just before an overhang

Something I really like about the Sli3er Prusa edition is that when I have a overhang the sli3er will put extra support the layer before it. This gives a better foundation and makes the lines of the overhang not drag over the support.

Just like all the other requests: it would be great to have this option, and if the variable layer height is also added in Simplify3D then I would never have to use the Prusa edition again.

I thank you in advance!

Re: More support just before an overhang

Do you mean just like using the Dense Support Layers on the Support tab of the profile settings??

That setting adds a higher density layer or layers in the support immediately under (and over, I think) any overhangs. You specify the number and density yourself!

Yeah I saw it, I should have seen it before, excuse me for that. But variable layer height remains haha.
