Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

I’m always frustrated when i put supports on figures (dragons, people, birds, etc) and items that have thin areas that need support or are in the same areas as features that need support like the neck on a Waldo-type figure (i’ve beheaded more than one cleaning off supports).

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

If it is possible to make these kinds of supports in a manner similar to lychee slicer for resin it would be great. the slicer would need to be able to lift the design off the build plate and allow rotation to an optimum position then generate supports much like the scaffolding used in building

Describe alternatives you've considered

recently i got a 2 month free “subscription “ to lychee slicer which can slice filament and resin designs. using this slicer in resin mode i put supports on the model and then exported the .stl file. i then printed it on my kobra 3 and it worked great. the supports are easier to remove and do just as well. i have also done the same thing to print to my bambu printer
