Change extrusion with for support

Hello,
is there a way to change the width of the extrusion for support similar to "infill extrusion width"?

Thanks

Re: Change extrusion with for support

You can easily do this by using the concept of virtual extruders. Essentially, this is the process:

1. Add an extruder in the Extruder tab and name it something like "Virtual support extruder"
2. Set the Extruder Toolhead Number to be the same as the existing extruder
3. Set the Extrusion Width to be what you want.
4. Go to the Support tab and select "Virtual support extruder" in the Infill Extruder dropdown.

You can even adjust the extrusion multiplier, retraction distance & speeds, coasting settings to be different than the other features!
