Again, print a tiger with support.

Does the belly look "normal" coming out of S3D?

Thanks

Re: Again, print a tiger with support.

There's plenty of settings that you can adjust to improve the bottom surfaces. Dense support, separation distances, infill percentage, even layer height will make a big difference. So what you're seeing is probably not too far from an initial starting point, but some experimentation and testing can surely improve it.

This is encouraging!
I am most interested in separation distance. How can I change the separation distance?
I am using 0.2mm layer height. I tried 0.1mm several times, it cannot even bridge through 20% infill on my printer. So I think 0.2mm is what I have to use on my printer.
The separation on the support is 1 layer.
Another way I can think of is the opposite of making separation distance smaller, but extruding 150% on the layer above the one layer "gap".
