 # FDM todo
 
+* fix thin wall support fill artifacts with complex nested polys
+* post re-engage dwell (on first layer?)
 * add support expand value to multi-part spacing (which defaults to 1mm)
 * add lay-flat auto-rotation or from selected face
-* add rafts, thin wall detection, manual supports
+* add rafts, manual supports
 * check for support / brim intersections on first layer
 * solid fill every other line, two passes. minimize heat/sag. better fill between
 * add dashed poly output on first connected brim (when offset === 0)
