Organic Supports - How?

I'm having problems trying to get info on PrusaSlicer at the moment. I'm getting a 500 error code from the Prusa knowledge base. I did find an article that talked about using them through the SLA menu, but that was not too recent an article. Are organic supports still available only through SLA? (I tend to doubt that, since I'm pretty sure the article talking about the SLA menu was pre-2.6.)

So where do I start for info on organic supports and how do I access the functions to use organic supports? (I'm not finding it on the right-click menu for objects in the slicer, it's not in the Print Settings menu, where other support settings are.

You really aren't missing out on much, the organic supports as they are in the alpha releases are "very" not ready.

But if you want to play with them, download the alpha 2 or 3 then load a model you want to use them on, open the Paint-on supports Gizmo, select Automatic painting. when its done enable for "support enforcers only" then go to Print Settings\Support material\Style: and  from the drop down menu select Organic. It would be a good idea for you both to read the release notes, and don't worry about making any reports to GitHub, they know they aren't finished, we know they aren't finished and just play with them knowing they aren't finished.

You have been warned, now please don't come back telling everyone they aren't working right, and have fun. 😉

Ah! So that explains it. I thought they were in 2.6 and was eager, when I downloaded that, to try them. So I get it - not ready for prime time yet. I can wait.

I get it. Don't try this at home, boys and girls! 😉

RE:

I tried it with the previous version 1.33.8 and there were no upload difficulties. It has to do with the 1.34.0 version.
