I'm trying to find a feature script for turning standard holes into adapted holes for FDM (FFF) 3D printing when they are aligned parallel to the build platform.
The goad would be to avoid defects such as the picture below where the hole top is done in overhang:
By using a simple teardrop design:
Has anybody seen / used something like this?

Your post is the first result searching online, but I was able to find this featurescript which offers the feature: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2eec193bbe052d8eaf2c4cd7/w/b58fde70f3a6df7a3290928f/e/39e46afef3cf385aac8b60ce
There is discussion here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/17447/new-feature-3d-printed-hole
I find these two are useful:
Bridge Counterbore FS
3D Printed Hole FS (Reese)
