Other settings aside( wasn't shooting for "perfection") illustrating how to use custom supports for parts that will overhang the starting point on the belt without having to do a part rotation and a large support underneath.

I'm trying that now, but I tilted the benchy 45 degrees with supports. So far, clean print. I do need that custom support app though.

I cheated and used normal Cura, there is an old extension to allow you to use belt printers. The settings are like the ones on the "beta" version, but instead is in the top bars instead of being a selection in the side bar.
