Change the angle of the bridging?

Can I change the angle of the bridging?  I have a very simple footprint for I design I made.  It is essentially a rectangular footprint with a 'T' channel in it about 4mm wide.  The issue I'm having is that when I slice it, the bridging along the short leg of the 'T' channel is running the length of the 'T', about 40mm, so that bridge layer sags.  What I'd like to do is have the bridge applied at a 45* angle so the bridge length would only be about 7mm and would work quite nicely.  Is there a way to do that?  Rotating the print 45* didn't do any good.  The slicer looks to be optimizing the longer leg of the T and bridges it at a 90*, which leaves the shorter channel running the linear length.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Assuming you are using PrusaSlicer, you will probably get an answer faster in that forum:

RE: Change the angle of the bridging?

Yes you can change the bridging angle.  Its one of the settings in there.  Print Settings>Infill>Advanced>Bridging angle.  Its a yellow coded setting so you must be in advanced or Expert mode to see it.  0 degrees is auto.  You can force it to whatever angle you want. 

Its also available as a setting in a modifier so you can apply different angles to different bridges or leave some as auto and apply it to specific ones using a modifier (either height range or modifier mesh object).

And yes , probably a question better suited to the Prusa Slicer sub section lol.  If the search worked you would have found the answer in there already.  Unfortunately search on the forum sucks.  The search inside Prusa Slicer though does work well so you could have searched for 'bridge' in PS and it would have brought up multiple settings including bridging angle.

THANK YOU!  Exactly what I was looking for.  I thought I'd seen it in earlier releases of PS, but couldn't find it.
