Setting threshold overhang angle for support structures
-
In most 3D printing software, there is an option to set the threshold angle for overhangs, and overhang is printed only if the threshold angle is exceeded.
Where can I find this option in Mattercontrol when I use matterslicer?

Support Percent is the setting you'll want to focus on: http://wiki.mattercontrol.com/Settings/General/Sup...
Essentially, instead of determining where support material is generated based on angle, it calculates based on the percentage of the extrusion that doesn't hang over the edge of the previous layer. See the example image in the article I linked to for a visualization.
