The extruder does not put out a 'ruler' that is immediately supported at both ends but a 'stream of hot plastic' that has to start at one end or the other and then, eventually, end up at the other end. As such, until it gets to the other end, it is, at least in my mind, an overhang.
I agree with that. I still think it's black magic or witchcraft to be able to pull that off in mid-air. At least while in Earth's gravity. On the ISS, not so much.
