Hey there! I love these bases, though I wanted to ask. Do you recommend supports for them? I've been printing them on an Anycubic Kobra V2 and I've always used tree supports for them, printing nose up, but I've always had a hell of a time getting them out without making the insides super rough or pulling away at the filament. I've had to sand them in the past but it adds a ton of work.

(Looking to print the fox for my boyfriend and the wolf for me!)

For my prints I used 1 separation layer (default is 2) between the tree supports and the actual model. I also have the tree-tip diameter the same as the extrusion width / nozzle diameter.

Post-print I use tiny diagonal cutters (same kind used for snipping wires in electronics) to break the trees off as close as possible, and needlenose pliers to snap off any leftover nubs of tree.

I only use supports for the nose and eyelids. The head will print fine without support, but I do use a raft to keep it from falling over.
