Is your feature request related to a problem?
When you have a number of small parts on a plate commonly one part will let loose and ruin the whole plate. Brims are unwieldy and often ruin the finish or dimensions of small parts. Here is an example of a print where someone remixed a plate of small parts and added runners plastic model style. The runners wile thin, are enough to give the additional area for much better hold-down.
Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?
Klipper, Marlin
Describe the solution you'd like
I feel given a plate of small parts automatically generated runners would be possible similar to the way supports are automatically generated. Automatically generated runners would make reliability of printing a large number of small parts higher.
I envision a solution as a check box to "enable runners" and some parameters such as now many layers the runners should be and how wide the runners should be starting with single extrusion width.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Brims - Ruin finish and dimensions of small parts
Rafts - Material and time intensive
Alternate build surfaces - no matter how good the build surfaces are small parts pose a challenge
