Cura-Dremel-Printer-Plugin
Dremel Idea Builder plugin for Cura version 3.x and onward. This plugin enables the user to use the Dremel Ideabuilder 3D20, 3D40, and 3D45 printers and use Cura to export the proprietary .g3drem files. (by metalman3797)
CuraEngine
CuraEngine is a powerful, fast and robust engine for processing 3D models into 3D printing instruction for Ultimaker and other GCode based 3D printers. It is part of the larger open source project called "Cura". (by ThomasRahm)

I hate myself, clearly. What's the best way to handle supports for this print?
Use this plugin to allow Cura to output the necessary file format for the 3D45.

How to make Cura Tree Supports get to these overhangs?
You are probably running exactly into one of those bugs that triggered u/Thomas_Rahm to re-implement the Tree Support Algorithm.
-
What setting do i need to change in cura to get my tree supports to stop printing like walls (green model) and start printing actual trunks (orange/marble model)?
If that is what you fear, you can check out the versions that /u/Thomas_Rahm (the creator of the new Tree Supports) has provided in his fork. There you can find old Cura versions that have the updated Tree Supports algorithm.

Life before organic supports was a dark time.
They perform much better than the old-style (still the default) trees in Cura: Basically less materials, easier to remove, less bugs. If you want to know all the details, read this description
-
Prusa vs Cura slicer trees?
The differences between these two algorithms are best seen in the README of the fork where the new one was developed; see especially the section "What does it do better"
-
first time utilizing organic supports in a design, very cool!
If you want to know the differences compared to Cura's old algorithm in detail, it's probably best to check out the README in Thomas' fork; especially the "What does it do better" section.

Help with supports
You can find info on all the differences and settings that the new Tree Support offers over here.

Midair Cura tree supports - Cura 4.12.1
You can try out the new Tree Support Algorithm in the Cura XMas Alpha release which is a bit less prone to this problem as it usually generates much more sparse trees, but the problem still appears some times.

cura 5.3 tree support is amazing
The performance difference is massive, see the ReadMe section "Slices faster on multicore cpus."

I hate myself, clearly. What's the best way to handle supports for this print?
Install this fork of Cura with redeveloped Tree Supports. These tree supports are apparently significantly better than what is in baseline Cura, and Dremel Digilab appears to be just an old version of Cura.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Cura-Dremel-Printer-Plugin and CuraEngine you can also consider the following projects:
Cura-MeshTools - Cura plugin which adds several mesh analysis and manipulation tools
CuraEngine - Powerful, fast and robust engine for converting 3D models into g-code instructions for 3D printers. It is part of the larger open source project Cura.
