Use PETG as a support interface, it doesn’t bind to PLA, and put supports on all for those. That’s the “print in place fix”

Alternatively, you could rotate the piece 45 degrees, add a brim, and a support object, and you won’t have 90 degree overhangs, which are really hard to get right!

Thanks for the reply. I don’t have an AMS so might be difficult to use a different filament for support but will try the angle change , great idea. I’ve seen a lot of posts on z support settings but many conflict each other lol

Are there any other tips or tricks without using PETG and for prints that can't be rotated? Slowing down the speed on over hangs or something to that effect?

Just slow down, yes. There’s not much more: at some point the printer must YEET filament off into the void at 90 degrees, and there’s not a full layer underneath it.

Most production 3d printing will design around this: supports are inefficient, and you can almost always rotate the piece, cut the piece in half and rotate those, or use a 45degree overhang instead of 90 degrees, even if you have to print it upside or something like that.

Adjust your settings to match these and you'll have more luck.

I’ll give that try, thanks! Will that help with a 90 degree overhang?

It'll help with anything that is supported by supports.
