When there is a screw_bottom = True in parameters file then supports are added to the top plate instead of bottom one.

There are still holes left in top plate...

It is still far from being perfect but looks good enough for me for my next print.

Thanks. Let me do some quick testing and I will pull this in. Adding code to close off the top holes when using bottom screws might take some time. One reason I didn't do it at first it I often use a tap to cut threads in my prints and without an open hole all the way through the bottom of the hole fills with the cut plastic. I probably wouldn't make it a default but another option
