That's the one thing that I've had problems with printing figures.

I've used the stock Ender 3 supports for larger figures and it's worked pretty well. But I wouldn't trust them on something as fragile as a Venoc Viper. Mostly I use Blender to add custom tree supports:
It takes a little trial and error (some failed prints) to get the supports right, but once they are dialed in it makes removing them pretty easy. First I cut (melt through) them with a hot tool. Then I remove the supports with dykes and then clean everything up with the hot tool.
(If I don't cut through with a hot tool first, the dykes will try to force the two halves of the supports apart as they cut which stressed the rest of the part and can break legs or other features.)

I need to try these. I especially have to try the hunters. I have an unhealthy love for anything yeti. I already have quite a few dzu te and quasatches but would love to print more. I love the built in supports on these WK. Anytime I print anuthing with huge wings the supports in my slicer are horrendous to remove leaving all kinds of ugly on the underside.
