What's MK3 best overhang angle?

S3D default setting is 45, but has anyone printedPLA with shallower angles successfully?

I have printed at 70 degrees from vertical without supports, but it does rather depend on the model and other settings (Loops before perimeters etc).

Slic3r has a unique "use bridging perimeters" feature, which extrudes thicker extrusion width on slopes, where the perimeters overlap less than 1/2 of their width. This allows one to print slopes as high as 70 degrees quite reliably.
