Cleaning up supports

[EKPhoto 0]

Just started 3d printing this is my 3rd print so far. I Have a Creality 3 V3 SE printer and i'm using Orca Slicer.

 

Is there a way to remove the rest of the support on top of the head under the leaf? What is the best way to avoid this issue in the future?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you've tried just picking it off with a fingernail. Since it looks like support interface it shouldn't be too well connected, if you have some picks (the kind you use to poke things, not the kind you use to break rocks) or a screwdriver with a really small (preferably flat) head you could try to get it under there and wedge it off, or if you have some fine tweezers, see if you can grab it with those (and if you don't have some, you should probably get some).

 

Otherwise, you may have to resort to a craft/hobby knife (also something you should have). You can try and use the blade as a little lever first but I wouldn't but surprised if you had to resort to its intended usage (i.e. cutting it).

 

N.B. Be careful with a craft knife. I've managed to cut myself with one. While wearing cut resistant gloves. But you're probably a lot less clumsy than me.
