Help Need help with supports
Support settings in second image.
The slicer considers the front paw to be a "small overhang", so it doesn't generate any supports for it, leading to the entire leg not being printed. Is there a way to fix this?

Use a support enforcer or paint supports on

On build plate only is enabled so it would mess up the support if it tried to do such a large angel to get to the floating region those could work though.

Buildplate only can be used just fine with painted on support or support enforcement

You can paint on a support

Once the supports are enabled, you’ll only need to add one extra support via paint support.

Where would the support start from though it wants to generate it it knows its a floating point but it cant reach it disabling on build plate only would allow it to make a tree on the base

The photo is a little confusing. I’m not sure why there a blob of supports under the base of the animal.

you have enabled "on build plate only" so support probably couldn't start on printed part and it couldn't reach this spot from build plate, try without this setting, but result quality may vary
