2 years ago Hmm, it does look like it's working to me.
These are the settings in that profile (at least the extruder-specific settings, where the support settings are):
In your expected results you name some of these. And they look fine to me. We have the support density at 20%. In the result, as you can see by the 1mm grid lines of the build plate (orthographic projection) you can see that the support lines are 2mm apart, which at 0.4mm line width ends up being 20% density:
You can also see in that picture that it's producing the Lines pattern. Although from the outside it might not look like that, because it also has 1 extra support wall (not specified by the profile). I think this is a good combination for minis.
Towers are constructed, as you can see by the conical shape at the top of the supports. The towers merge together down lower, but they are used here:
The overhang angle is set to 70° by the profile, which is indeed a much greater tolerance for overhang. But the model still has greater overhangs than that all over the place due to the geometry of the feathers in the wings and the edges on the garments of this miniature. It turns out that the overhang areas become smaller with this model, but don't disappear. The Support Join Distance then joins them back up together. It does save a little bit of material, but not much. The overhang areas can be seen by the red areas in preview mode. The swords are about the only thing completely exempt from overhang:
Application Version
4.13.1
Platform
Windows 11
Printer
Creality Ender -3
Reproduction steps
I changed the support settings of my printer from the default settings to settings for printing smaller miniatures for Dungeons and Dragons. When I sliced the files for the miniatures, the settings did update the default supports. I uninstalled and reinstalled Cura as well as checked for updates and nothing has worked so far.
Actual results
The sliced models of the miniatures still have the supports constructed by the default Cura settings.
Expected results
settings should have adopted line supports, towers, less support density, a larger overhang tolerance, as well as some other settings.
