Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

so we have standard and tree supports, but both honestly are kind of garbage to use they use a lot of extra filament, they seem to fail a lot, they seem to stick to the part too much just difficult when you really just need a simple solution

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature E.g. Voron/Klipper based printer/etc...

any 3d printer

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

In Cura, I'm using a plugin called custom support cylinders... it creates some basic shapes, with options of flat, or pointed tips example being a cycliner/tube, square/tube , pyramid/trapezoid

here a link which includes pictures, and of course, its code is included since its github https://github.com/5axes/CustomSupportCylinder

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. I still use cura a lot for just this reason...
