I hope it turns out great!

Still poking around but so far I’m pretty damn impressed.

I’d say most of my other thoughts would be nice to have features. It’s perfectly functional as is.

I feel like half the time that I don't go with tree supports my prints end up failing and the other half ends up wasting a ton of plastic.

What I like the most about tree supports is that I can actually remove them pretty easy compared to the usual fiasco I had to deal with in prusa slicer. So happy support for them finally landed in 2.6.
