Thanks I've just opened up your file in cura.
The tree supports make it take hours longer to print, I did try using trees but as well as taking a long time it also didn't support the underneath cut out enough on the real models.

This one I've added a couple of 2.2mm subtractions and split the part. The intent is to glue pieces of filament into the 2.2mm holes, then trim them to 2mm long, and finally glue the second piece onto the filament "locating pins".
Thanks for trying, that's not what I want though.
The real model I have designed was actually already 2 separately printed items that fitted together, I wanted to print it as one part.
Fundamentally I want to "customise" the supports in the way I have said, but cannot get it to do it using support blockers/print as support/individual object support settings.
Well I gave it a shot. It looks like I didn't think of anything you hadn't come up with yourself. Good Luck.
Hours later, I've finally pretty much got it to work as I wanted.
thanks for the help.
I created a taller support model with a flat top 0.8mm below the overhang, it put in just the support ceiling in the 0.8mm gap and, for some reason is stopped creating supports below the support model.

I'm not real sure what you are working towards. I threw out that shield looking thing.
