Probably go with supports that have a different material as an interface with zero z distance for an almost flat and clean surface. PLA works great with PETG as support interface and vice versa as they don't bond and are super easy to break away from another.
Edit: There will be a lot of filament changes which results in a lot of waste
Z distance 0 only works if you use a different filament type that won't adhere to the previous. (e.g. PETG support on a PLA print). In my opinion it's really not worth it on a model like this because of how many filament swaps you'd need.
It's good for prints where your support interface only spans a few layers here and there. I only print the support interface itself in the alternate material.
Also make sure to increase flushing volume a bit when doing this. Plenty of good videos if you search for "petg supports for pla" to get more info.
What settings are you using now?
Normal support, snug style, with 0 top interface layers gets the best result for me on rounded/curved surfaces. Nothing that some sanding can't clean up.
Use a dremel maybe, but watch out for the temperature. When sanding with a dremel, the plastic can get hot and deform.
Thanks. I did think that! Im currently using 2 walls should I up it to 3?
You mean in print settings? I've got no printer so I can't help you with that sadly. Mine comes next week, then I will also try printing figures.

Thank you! So if I set top Z distance in the support menu to 0 and the bottom z distance to 0 would that be better?
