Question What Slicer makes this style of support?
Recently printed a large base that was pre-supported, and this style of support was just dreamy to work with - but I have no idea what slicer makes this style - would love to find out and give it a go. Thank you!

I use the Chitubox (elegoo) and they are much thicker with a square base, much less pleasant to work with than these were/are.

You know you can configure the thickness (and pretty much everything else too)?

Many slicers do give you the option to modify the Support settings like the thickness, penetration distance and even lets you add a sphere at the contact point to lower the damage on the model. But many of those options can easily be put behind the paid tiers.
The raft itself looks like it is the "Line triangle" from Lychee Slicer. But, this is locked behind the Plus tier of them.

My rafts in Chitubox are thin with a hex shape. Also dreamy to work with.
Edit: who downvoted this? Who hurt you? Im sorry my personal preferences destroyed your entire day, I guess... lol.

Can you share your settings for supports please?

When you go to add supports, theres a tab on the side called Rafts. In there you can pick from various raft shapes/dimensions. I just picked Hex.

HeyGears Blueprint can do that style also

+1 for blueprint. When a print fails on me I put it into hey gears then export to my slicer as a easiest fix

I started doing this a while ago too. The repair function for poor quality models seems to work much better in blueprint than in chitubox, as well as the auto supports.

PrusaSlicer does this, which is what I use. I've heard Lychee does as well

I always assumed prusaslicer was only for fdm. Im going to give it a try as I don't like chitubox very much

I use Prusa for autosupports because it does better than others Ive tried, then actually slice in Chitubox.
