I think this has a lot of potential but I suspect that it will never produce super clean prints because you will always have some unsupported material... also I think that this in it's current form is highly situational - i.e. you need a conical slice to print a flat edged 90 overhang... but that would not work for other geometries as well. A lot of development would need to go into making this a mostly automated slicing algorithm. ...also sucks that it is only for Slic3r/Slicer right now. This needs to be ported to Cura
