"I've worked with models with similar features but I've never seen this problem. What Cad software was used to design this and how was the STL file generated? (There were a couple minor problems with the model but a repaired STL sliced exactly the same.)" These are good questions lol. I could upload the STEP file as well. I do not have an answer to your two questions though. In that last picture, are you saying that you were able to resolve the issue? What settings did you change?

It'd probably be easier for me to try and redesign the file than build a multi-fillament setup unfortunately. If I get that sort of setup in the future. I will look into your suggestion. For multi-material supports, do you design the internal support structure as well or is that generated?

I have a part with threading on the bottom and features above features that need support. I have found the only way to get any support for those parts on the top is by enabling support placement "everywhere." However, when I do this support is generated over the threads which I cannot seem to remove with support blockers. I cannot change support settings to be too far from the object otherwise the nylon I am printing with will droop dramatically. I have also tried increasing X/Y distance to make the supports less of an issue with the threads, but I can't make it far enough that it won't interfere with the threads, but will still support the print where it's needed. When print everywhere is enabled, the support walls hug the threads regardless of what settings I change. I have had this issue on other parts as well where print supports "everywhere" would negatively impact the print quality but had no other option due to an overlap that required support. Any help is appreciated, Thank you! Slick Upper.stl
