Mouse ears instead of brim for larger objects #10796

Open shledge opened 1 year ago

shledge commented 1 year ago

Similar to how Cura does it - having a full brim on a large object seems to be a bit of a waste, when in reality it's more the corners that need to have extra grip.

I'm aware you can do it manually, but it's a rather fiddly and lengthy process.

Alternatively, paint on brims could be a good feature :)

How do you do it manually ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCcFMDv_4eo I came across this video and found it interesting idea. The sprue version sounds even better and pretty sensible to me. Tho, unlike in the video, i think it should be a slicer option and not part of the object (or at best, an optional part of the object)

I dislike removing the brims, so brims for only the corners would be great.

Is it at least on the radar of the devs ?

The Duplicate police won't help you, but this may.
