Hi Paul,

well, most of the time for support the approach is try and miss, and remembering some bad experiences !

But regarding the small part of the fruit, it's probably better to turn it so it remain flat on the bed (rotate X to 90 °), the bigger part seems to be properly supported, but only the print will told.

Best is always to check on the preview panel how the file is sliced and if any obvious hanging part were not properly supported. If that's the case, you can increase the supported area by increasing the "overhang threshold" value step by step.

I'm like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
