#support material

just had a thot rn why do ppl still use so much support material in 3d printing doesnt it just waste resin and make post processing a nightmare tbh i feel like were just used to doing it this way cuz thats how it was always done but is it really nec? ive been experimenting with dif orientations and models to minimize the amnt of support needed and its been pretty interesting so far lol idk maybe im just being stupid and theres a reason every1 uses so much support but it seems like therd be a better way
