Oh, no PVA 🙂 All printed with PLA and White Breakaway. Manually pulled off with needle nose pliers and an x-acto knife to get at the breakaway and pry it off.

Wow, never thought that Breakaway could do the job with such models as well.
Ran out of PVA and desperation did the rest 😆 I did learn to alter the design structures to hold up with the extra strain of pulling that stuff off (no spindly areas). It can be tough getting it off the model cleanly and also printing with it with the type of things I posted here can cause it to clog a bit. I learned that if you do a 'fake material change' to back it out and feed it again will get it to unclog and get right back to printing with it. Yay S5 sensor 🙂
Yeah when it is possible I think it is the better support material. It is cheaper and even if you need some time for cleanup, it is faster than dissolving PVA for ages. And when you can take care during the design you have all possibilites.
Yeah, but PVA can be used for things with spindly parts like fingers or hair and it comes off very cleanly. But for this, I learned a lot about using the breakaway which was fun 🙂 I have two to paint and one to finish printing and then paint and I think I have one more design waiting to crawl out of me wee pointy little head.
Nice work!
Awesome!
Once I can afford some PVA I have a print I want to do that needs it because of the delicate nature of the design. It was one of the last designs I did before surgery and could still sculpt reliably....
I was thinking about @fbrc8-erin when I painted the snail creature. I know she likes red and, well, I promised a red print a long while ago. The funnly thing is that some of the BBs and lead shot bounced into the infill areas, so they rattle a bit if you shake it 😛
Love these critters! amazing work as always!!

On average, the print times are around 7 days. Here are a few more that I got pics of:

Fantastic!
And it needs approximately another 7 days to dissolve the PVA 😀
