I'm not kidding. This treelease of UItimaker Cura is something I've been watching for a LONG time. I use tree supports more than any other support type, and this improvement is really a support game changer. Watch, and find out why.
NOTE: This is important. I prepared **A LOT** of this footage in advance, using the fork version. So screenshots may be of the alpha version or the fork version. The impact of this is largely the difference in where the settings are located on the list.
Also note, not that anyone reads this far: there seems to be some confusion over the brief mention I made about Prusaslicer's repo. They have a private DEV branch. The project is of course open source. The reason I was mentioning this, which I did explain, was because it stops me knowing what's coming in terms of tree supports, because it's private. It means I know no more than you do if you watch their live streams! That was my point. And it's entirely their choice. And it's also _not that uncommon_ for companies to do that. There's no story here other than they didn't used to, and cura don't.
