I’d assume not, actually.
Might be something most newer-to-the-hobby might try, but once you get comfortable with modelers… the limitations be come obvious.
For example tapering registration pegs. If you’re slicing along the xy plane, then your pegs will be vertical, but this sounds like the part is too large in either YZ or XZ, making the overhanging posts… problematic.
It's because the slicer is basically just CAM software for additive manufacturing. If you are using CAM software in subtractive CNC, you wouldn't use the cam software to modify the part, you'd modify it in CAD. The slicer just simply isn't the tool to use for part modification.
