Support Problems w/ Slic3r (Prusa Edition)
I am trying to print this butter pig body part ( http://www.thingiverse.com/download:2542185 ) and I have a sense that the only portion that really needs support is this overhang really early in the print
so I'm attempting to use the "Enforce support for the first" option in Slic3r but the settings don't seem to change regardless of the value that I enter. Am open to using a different slicer program but don't have any experience with others and am not sure if I'm doing something wrong with Slic3r. I don't think the bump-outs for the raised text on the sides of the model will be an issue, just that one overhang early on.
Thanks for any suggestions, I'm sure others have tons more experience with this sort of thing.

Looking at the stl I believe you also need supports up to the eyes and possibly for the letters.
Re: Support Problems w/ Slic3r (Prusa Edition)
Try setting the "Overhang Threshold" to 0. I don't know why but this allows the "Enforce Support" to work.
Alternatively, leave the default "Overhang Threshold" and select "Support on build plate only."
Hope this helps.
