How to get rid of supports in tiny holes?
Hi
How can I get rid of the supports in the tiny holes? Paint on blockers don't work in this case - and I need the other blockers. Thank you very much for your help.

Samuel, you can , there is a function in the paint tool called 'clipping', with it you can remove obstructing parts of the model to 'see' otherwise inaccessible areas.

If you could save your model in prusa slicer as a project file, (Files.Save project as) then compress the resultant .3mf file as a zip file, then attach the zip file to your next post, we can try and help you, rather than guessing what may help.

Hi both
Certainly, I have attached the project file for your review. I've been considering the option of simply painting the support, as it may not be necessary on many surfaces. Or adding a negative volume? Not sure, but thank you very much for your support - much appreciated. Perhaps there's a more straightforward solution, and I am generally eager to find a resolution as this isn't the first time I've encountered this challenge.

You can paint on supports and you can paint areas where you DO NOT want supports.. Don't think you can do it when you let the slicer add supports.. but just choose "for support enforcers"

Thank you @JoanTabb - I see you worked with paint on support, I'll follow that path then as well in the future.
@Crab - Yes, I'm aware of blockers, but that doesn't solve the problem here because you'd not be able to reach the overhang in the tiny hole with the blocker brush.
