I was running into some issues with supports not working properly in my more complex and larger prints.

So I decided to make a small object that has most of the surface types and overhangs that supports consistently struggle with.

You can scale this up to match a larger object you're looking to print, and preview the supports in your preferred slicer to get a better idea of how your printer will behave. (Or what changes you need to make to get it to behave)

As a general rule, supports will always have better results on the smallest layer height you can set. Which also means that draft prints won't tell you the precise end result (And the smallest layer height will take the longest to print). So use this to get an idea of results in lieu of an expectation, and the resulting heartache.
