Paint on support blocker

I rarely use pre-release software in my tool chain, but I had a pretty large part to print that required supports, but not that many.  I downloaded the release candidate just for the paint on support blocker feature.  The paint on support blocker was absolutely awesome.  I'm sure I could have tweaked the support settings for a while until I got close to only having the supports I wanted.  However, the 45 seconds it took to paint the 85% of the part that did not require supports was so easy.  I have always hated printing with supports, and the inevitable cleanup required.  This might make me change my mind!  Well done Prusa!

RE: Paint on support blocker

Next time try the enforcers rather than blockers.  Enforcers always seem to just 'work' better, even with the old non paint on method.  Then change the support option to for Enforcers only.  You can even start by auto setting the enforcers by angle first with the 2.3 releases.
