The simplest option is to print the part raised at an angle so the layer lines aren't parallel to faces. Clough42 has some good videos on support/rib design in Fusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXaLxSmtnbQ, based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NKVNwVaZU0.

But you can definitely get printers to dump a blob of filament out without worrying about cooling problems, if the extruder speed is high enough. I was debugging some issues in P2PP (a post processor for the Mosaic Palette. One problem was that the printer would extrude all the filament at the start of some travels instead of along the path.
