simple DFM for heat-set inserts #33

Closed jeremy-asher closed 1 year ago

jeremy-asher commented 1 year ago

Hey there! I have hit this issue with the standard dactyl insert cutouts where the slicer renders supports for the roof above the cutouts, clogging the holes quite effectively. I was never able to find an adequate tweak on the slicer side.

This is a pretty simple solution that cuts out a cone to create a 45 degree roof at the top of the insert to avoid a need for any support. I'm not sure if it covers all of the use cases for inserts, but happy to adjust if necessary. I also wasn't sure whether this needs configuration as it is technically a breaking change, but it felt like a good default for most people.

I usually use PrusaSlicer, which allows local negation of supports in a couple of different ways, but this looks good to me. Thanks!
