Tight ooze shields and maximal self-supporting cavities

Our tight enclosure algorithm let us create nice ooze shields that remain close to the print at all times while being easy to remove. The same algorithm can be used to create large self-supporting cavities inside parts. Print large and fast!

Right: Kitten printed with a maximally empty cavity inside, saving large amounts of time and material (print is back-lit, filament is slightly transparent). The outer shell is a single thread thick.
