   Just started off my longest ever 3d print. Gonna take 18 hours, Mostly due to requireing 275 filament changes in order to use the support filament.

     @quixoticgeek Not sure if you can utilize this, but one trick that can save lots of time and material is only using the dedicated support material for the top layer of support. This lets you do zero-gap support that's still removable without needing filament changes in each layer. But of course it won't work if you really need the support to be soluble.

     @quixoticgeek Ahhh, yeah that's a pain, but pretty much the only way with current slicing tech to get a smooth lower surface (short of printing bottom as a separate part upside down and attaching them after or something).

     @dalias Yep, that's what I'm doing. The problem is cos the body of the print has a curve to it, there's a small bit of support filament on each layer, So there's a lot of filament changes. The support filament from bambu isn't soluble, so this is ust to mske it easier to remove.
