Export with blockers

I created a script in Rhino/grasshopper that automatically creates support blockers for surfaces that it recognizes as cylindrical. I want to read these geometries into Prusaslicer as support blockers, is there a way to do this?

RE: Export with blockers

If you can export just the support blockers from Rhino either as individual STL files or a single STL with all the blockers there, you can load the STL as a support blocker in Plicer. I haven't tried something similar in my 3D package of choice (FreeCAD) myself so I don't know if there will be any translation errors, but I would think that if your 3D object STL and the support blocker STL file share the same origin point the loaded blocker should line up properly.
