Dense Support Layers also from bottom up.

Hi S3D,

It would be great if it would be possible to upply dense support layers also from Bottom up. It would help with Bed adhesion when not using a Raft.

This could look like this then.

First 3 Layers --> 70% Support Infill
X Layers ---> 15% Support Infill
Last 3 Layers ---> 70% Support Infill

Re: Dense Support Layers also from bottom up.

Dense layers are applied on the bottom when supports touch the print. It sounds like you want it when touching the bed... Use a brim. Or add "anchors" under the supports.

Try the attached STL of thin discs or squares. Adjust XY scale to create the appropriate sized anchor for the supports. Don't scale the Z, which I think is .5mm. May be a trial and error to get the right placement under the supports.

Hope this helps!
