Bridging problem
So I`ve been fighting this bridging issue ever since I got my MK3S by changing the bridging angle to 45 degrees or rotating prints etc
But maybe with all the updates to the slicer and firmware, there is a fix now for this, some nifty setting that will help eliminate this overhang?
I am printing in some generic PLA with standard PLA prusament profile - jsut briging angle set to 45 degrees 0,2 speed profile
Please save your project as a .3mf file
Files > Save Project as
Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.
Cheerio,

Here it is - Thanks!

This was printed with Overture Matte Blue PLA, I did change the profile back to Prusament PLA for this post since that's the filament type you indicated in your Project file. The example is using the latest "niftiest" settings for bridging and supports in slicer. The whitish areas you see are where the support makes contact with the bridging, I see this more with Matte PLA filaments and ABS then with others, however the layer is bonded and quite smooth to the touch for bridging on stock supports. you can certainly adjust them more I did the bear minimum. A pocket knife was used to start the removal of the support material, it's fine and removes almost as cloth.
If you print the example project file, select NO when asked if you want to select "Detect bridging perimeters" there are other ways to achieve better results, however they require more knowledge and time to acquire. Explore the settings in the project file.

It is definitely better now but still some of the lines are not connected to anything and hanging - and removing supports was painful 😛
I`ll try to print the whole thing now with the Prusament - I hope for the best 🙂

I'd like to suggest that you take a little time getting to know your material better first. With the right settings based on the material your printing you should see much better results.

RE: Bridging problem
I was able to improve upon the first results using what I learned from the first test. I feel confident that it could be improved farther.
Take your time, and endeavor to improve your prints, learn each material you print, and what each setting does in Slicer you won't regret it.
Enjoy
