Cold Interface layer Detatch

If you print at a colder temperature than recommended, you get delamination issues.

Wondering if you could use this effect to get better surface finishes and easier support removal on flat overhangs if you lowered the temperature of the final interface layer.

I don't have the time to test this, maybe it's something CNC kitchen could look at.

Not sure, but it would definitely increase the print time a lot.

Depends on the implementation, and on the model.

In general I don't have difficulty detatching supports from angled surfaces.

But when there is a flat horizontal surface,

If you imagine a 3D "P" printed standing up.

There are three horizontal interface layers, and a bunch on the curves.

If we only do the three flat layers, the added time to the print is however long it takes to change the temperature by 10-20degrees 6 times.

So maybe 6 minutes per print. If that saves me 3 minutes of scraping bonded interface layers, I'd want it.
