PrusaSlicer Specify brim per piece?

I have a couple of STL's I want to print at once, one of them has a fairly small footprint, so I'd like to put a brim on it, BUT the other parts do not need it, and I'd like to avoid the hassle of cleaning them.

It looks like you can specify top and bottom layers per piece, but I'm not seeing how to (de)activate brim per piece...

RE: PrusaSlicer Specify brim per piece?

I thought you must be mistaken and just missed it, so I searched for this as well. I also couldn't find it. I'm wondering if the problem is because the brim setting is on the "skirt & brim" settings page it was forgotten because changing the skirt for an individual object in a multi-object print doesn't make any sense.

You should probably report this over on github.

Yes Brim is global, is all or nothing.  What I do as a work around for parts that need extra support is add a modifier and make it 1 layer thick and then place it in a suitable location.  Then just remove afterwards.  You can make it work like a brim but its not as convenient.

Looks like someone beat me to it last summer...

The FR was written against 1.40 after upstream Slic3r implemented it. Perhaps it's easier to implement with the changes made in 2.0.
