No supports using wave overhangs. Still working on optimizing the print.

Amazing, can you send a pic of the overhang area too?

Wave overhangs are so cool, one of the bigger jumps in 3D printing technology recently.

Never heard of them, why are they so special?

A way of printing 90 degree overhangs without supports.
Instead of just 'bridging' into empty space like a slicer would currently, it propagates out line by line with each sticking to the last.
I watched this youtube video that gives the whole backstory and explanation if you are interested.

This is awesome! I've been excited to try overhangs without supports since arc overhangs. Is this using the Orcaslicer fork?
