More layers on support brim?

Has anybody found, or does anybody know a way to add more layers to the brim of organic supports?

I print in PETG mostly, and these support brims stick so hard to the plate that they can be a major pain to remove. If they had more layers, they would be stiffer when flexing the plate and easier to pop off once cooled. A single layer just flexes with the plate. I've searched through the settings, and haven't found anything.

Thanks.

There is no setting for the first layer thickness of supports. 

If the support is sticking so well you could consider changing the support expansion to zero which would mean the support has no 'brim' to flex and as such would be easier to remove.

Thanks...

Yeah, I have used that to limit the width of the support brim, but going to zero 1st first layer expansion might bring its own problems. I'll keep experimenting. I figured it was a long shot. Thanks.
