support material extrusion width

If one is extruding wide traces in general for ones print then the support material can get a bit "heavy".

It would be nice to have an extrusion width specify for support - as there is for infill - so as to be able to slim it down.

Thanks

Try the dense support layer function.

Specify a low support density (15-25%), then use 3 layers for dense infill percent of 70%. The lower support density should help keep the supports from becoming "heavy".

I too would like this, It's a feature I miss having used Skeinforge for so long. I miss the ability to tune everything
