Slicing help for areas between infill
Hi, this seems like a simple thing to fix, but I don't see an option anywhere in Cura (I'm using Repetier Host with Cura as the slicer). I have an object where there's a tall column on one side, and a lower platform on the other side. As it's making the top layers of the lower section, it will sometimes end those lines in between the infill supports - in these sections, it droops at the end of those lines since its basically printing in open space.
In image below, the red arrows show where its drooping since it's unsupported. I know I could increase the infill to get closer grid lines, but I'm trying to print as quickly as possible and that seems like a workaround just to get supported material at the end of the those lines. Is there any setting in Cura (or maybe another slicer) which would instruct it to print a little "further" so it ends on one of the infill lines, or does something else to avoid ending those lines in open space?
Thank you for the help!

use more support.
There are a lot of different support settings in simplify3d - so probably a way round it.
So far I've never actually used supports.
