They would make slic3r hands down the best free slicer program. One of the settings that it's missing and to be honest, should have been there from the beginning is Z Hop, and some additional Retraction settings. While I would love to see some new work done on slic3r, perhaps a couple Addons to add some additional functionality. It's very difficult to become overwhelmed with slic3r as apposed to Prusa, Cura, and Super Slicer. It's also in my opinions the best slicer for someone new to 3D printing. It's not bogged down with a ton of features that most people will never use. I enjoy using this as my goto slicer because it is simple. My understanding is that Prusa now is the Custodian of the slic3r Code. It's a shame that Slic3r was last updated in 2018. Now your done with the print settings tab!
Then leave the "Interface Pattern Spacing" to 0 mm and the 'Don't Support Bridges" box checked. All 3D printers are different though, so you'll have to experiment with yours. I always put the "Interface Layers" to 1, because the supports are easier to remove. Leave the "Pattern Angle" at 0, unless you want rotated supports. The pattern spacing should be around 2.5 mm. The best all around support material pattern is pillars, but if you need a lot of support, go with honeycomb. On the "Options" panel change the pattern to the best choice for your model. Skip past the "Raft layers", as we'll cover that later. Also leave the "Enforce Support for the First" to 0 layers. Leave the "Overhang Threshold" to 0, as Slic3r is pretty good at detecting what areas need supports. To set support material in Slic3r, click on the "Support Material" tab under "Print Settings", then click the check box to enable it. To fix this, you can print the supports, usually thin pillars, to give the printer something to build on top of. 3D printers cannot extrude filament into the air, because it would of course droop and the model wouldn't print correctly. Without it, you would only be able to print models without any overhangs. Support material is very important in 3D printing.
