option for brim offset

can we get an option for a brim offset like when using a skirt?

quite often the brim is very difficult to remove and a very slight offset (half nozzle diameter) would help greatly

RE: option for brim offset

Isn't the idea for a brim that is should be attached well enough it holds an unstable part down?  Making the brim semi-attached seems to circumvent the reason it is needed.

I found a 0.15mm gap was ideal when I used Simplify 3D. Held the part down securely, yet just enough gap to provide a perforated edge effect that peels off easily.

This had been my experience manipulating the skirt settings in prusa slicer to act as a brim, but this only works when printing a single model on the build plate.  Having a brim offset solves this
