3D Print - Detect and fill overhang

Looking for a bit of an 'automated' solution to detect and fill/erode 'overhangs' on models for 3D printing. ie: if the downward-facing angle exceeds 45 degrees, to auto-fill the area until it maintains the correct angle. 

I'm using it for more artistic purposes, not so much anything industrial. I'd prefer to be able to round over only the downward facing surfaces but retain some more of a nice crisp/sharp edges on the upward facing surfaces. 

I'm assuming this would be something similar to the fill voids function. If this is an existing feature, could you please point me in the right direction? Thank you!
