These settings assume that you are using Orcaslicer, which is the recommended slicer for printing miniatures. However since many slicers are forks of one another, you will likely be able to find the same or similar settings in the slicer of your choice.
Changes from previous version:
If you use these supports and find something that works better, please add something to the notes for the setting in question or to the discussion page.
