MAKE SIMPLE POSTS TO SUPPORT YOUR PRINTS
=============
Overview:
--------
This is a very simple module that I use to quickly make little support beams from point A to point B, kind of like the ones in Meshmixer.

Meshmixer has been terrible for me lately so I decided to do support manually for some easy prints.

Give it two points and it makes a cylindrical post between them with cones on the ends.

Module Usage:
-------
`support( bot_pt , top_pt , dia = 0.6 , tip_dia = 0.36 , tip_h = 0.3 , base = 0 , base_h = 2 ) `

Provide bottom point coordinates and the top point coordinates as vectors. Everything else is optional, but kinda specific to my 0.3mm nozzle size and general preferences.

`support([1,2,0],[1,2,5]); // this makes a vertical 5mm post at point [1,2,0] `


You can change the height of the conical tips by assigning a tip_h value. Default is 0.3, which is three 0.1mm layers.

`support(bot_pt,top_pt, tip_h = 0.8, ... );`

You can change the diameter of t
