This is the base of a pumpkin. There is a little support where the over hang is a bit much to start. How did I get great smoosh on the support but not the first layer of the actual print?! They're the same layer!

I was going to suggest the opposite - lower the model .5 mm in to the platter to cut a clean bottom and ensure it's flush.

that works too, assuming it lowers it enough to get a sizeable patch. either way will get a decent print. They're already printing with supports, however, so the loss in quality from janky support removal isn't in play.

(ah crap. Sorry for the pun.)
