I am printing on a Prusa i3 MK3S+ with MMU2S module using PVA+ soluble material and PLA. Slicing with PrusaSlicer 2.3.1. This question is more about slicing and is probably printer-independent.

My problem is the default pattern makes the surface not smooth. See the attached screenshot from PrusaSlicer (picture from the bottom side, for clarity I hid the lowest layers to make the interface visible):

The resulting object looks like this:

Actual printed model with printing errors

What I wish the slicing would look like:

Any ideas on how to make such a pattern or other ideas to make it better? It doesn't matter if the support is hard to remove because it's soluble anyway.

What you're looking for is the Support Interface Layers.

In PrusaSlicer, enable Advanced or Expert mode, and under Print Settings ▶ Support Material ▶ Options for support material and raft you can decrease the Interface Layers to zero, and only the support structure will remain.

Keep in mind, this will affect ALL supports in the model, however.
