I am finding that organic supports likes to print interface layers in empty space?
Is it me or is the organic support algorithm not quite there yet in some circumstances? It works ok sometimes but others it will want to print in thin air. Here is an example it prints all these tubes around this floating island that needs to be supported, every where but actually under the island, then does not even initially bridge the tubes it made but rather prints in mid air. I guess its a work in progress? I know if I change settings and make the tubes smaller in this case it will work better, but I do not need .8mm tube tips. I am just finding organic supports not that configurable and in a lot of situations I get bad layed out supporting? Please share your experiences and thoughts, Thanks

Yes, it’s a known issue https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/9601

I guess some day some one will figure out how to really do FDM supports, I am sure it is not an easy task.

I generally use Snug supports, and with the right settings they work well, come away clean. I would only use organic for such things as figures etc.
Like anything the stock settings are a starting point and not one size fits all. You have to adjust things for the object you are printing.

Yeah I know, I'm just wishing I could get some precise functionality with FDM supports like I can do with resin. But it a whole another animal. I wonder with dual material PLG and PETG and maybe some really good support/ slicing system? Right now I am thinking a large format resin printer for some stuff I have in mind, a littel messy and not rally the toughness as thermo plastic, but I can get really clean forms.
