This is a suggestion to develop a new type of support that grows from the side of the printed part instead of the print bed.
This could save material quantity used for support and reduce print time.
I have done two tests to compare, the design can be improved and i am sure a slicing algorithm can be added maybe in a slicer to have Ramification support.
I added Pictures and the models of two comparative parts.
Lets me know what you think and if you can develop the algorithm. This is totally open source suggestion i claim no right for. I only would like it to be named "Ramificaitons".
(STL need to be rotated 90 degrees)
