This is a battery cell case that was a pain last time I printed it with supports

Ohh nice, battery pez dispenser!

Is that considered a raft + supports or just supports on there?

Just supports, I had to manually paint them in to prevent the slicer from putting them all the way up the side

In Orca slicer, if you use tree supports and hybrid, an option appears (advanced must be enabled) for something like "Essential supports only". It is so much better than spending all that time adding or blocking supports.

Looks like the model is just resting on supports. Might have a roof or "support interface" (a layer between supports and model)
