The Lulzbot edition can be used to slice prints for all the LulzBot printers. I think that's because the gap between the supports and the model are often large - and the size of the gap is very inconsistent. I printed this anyway, and found that the supports failed frequently under the bottom edges of the wings, which left those edges 'furry'-looking. I'll let you examine the rest of the model for support issues. Sometimes the supports are not even underneath the things they're supposed to be supporting, e.g. Top of right leg - support material suddenly appears out of nowhere (is not supported below) and has quite a big gap to the thing it appears to support Right hip - most of the support material is superfluous, and is doing nothing as it is too far away from the model:

There are other places where the supports do not meet the model, such as under the left wing: Notice how the tree support contacts the surface at the bottom of the image, but does not contact the surface higher up. Here's the last screenshot again, with line types colored: (this is at the back of the model) Yes, correct - it's significantly shrunk, and rotated upright.
