I find that I spend too much time ensuring that I get every speck of support material off the print plate long after I've removed the actual print.

When it comes to the skirt, I always set it to be two layers tall for this exact reason, and I was hoping it's possible to do the same with the support base.

Ah, so it's not just me being unable to find a relevant setting, then.

I figured there ought to be a setting for support and brim, as there's a similar setting for the skirt.
