Organic footpads could be thicker

Organic supports are an excellent addition, they work very well for me. My issue is that the footpads are extremely thin and are difficult to remove from my print bed. Often the actual support will break off the footpad, leaving it - or a portion of it - stuck to my bed. This bit is tough to remove without resorting to a metal tool that might damage my print bed.

If the footpad of each support was just a layer thicker, it would be simple to remove them from my print bed. Yes, this would take a bit more time and a bit more material, but for me the trade off would be worth it in saving my time.

Put ipa on the build plate let it soak then the pads should release easily

You mean to do this after the print is done and removed?
