@snuffleupagus, those videos are awesome, thanks for sharing. I didnt realize you could get fancy like that with brims right in the slicer. I'm going to start playing around with those techniques for sure! I wish I had know some of this stuff for past projects.

You may consider trying any of the techniques in this video.

Allowing you to keep Elephants foot on and apply an actual brim to the inner area vs having to model a part to act as one.

or, possibly this video. ↓↓↓

These are advanced techniques, however are extremely adaptable to almost every use case in slicer.

Also if you can post a zipped up project file, meaning a PrusaSlicer exported .3mf file, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help.

Regards

Every once in a while I come across a situation where I want a specific support or a brim that isn't quite supported by the built-in slicer settings. For example, I may want a brim ear on a specific corner. I've tried to design some of these supports into my model but I am running into challenges with the separation distance.

For example, this file I wanted to add a brim to an interior part, so I made 0.2mm high brim (planned on printing 0.2mm layer height) and placed a small gap (0.1mm) from the stem where I wanted the brim.

When loading this STL in prusaslicer and slicing the model, the gap appears to be a full extrusion width away from the object rather than 0.1mm.

This results in the brim being fully detached from the object. The green lines on the outside is the brim that the slicer added on the exterior wall with a 0.1mm gap as set in the slicer, so I assume its possible to get the same gap on elements inside the model, but I can't figure out how to not treat this gap as a full extrusion width.
