Support problem with printing

[jojomw3 0]

hello everyone after hours of printing when removing my support I had this problem and I do not know where it comes from if you have the solution it would be cool

You can play with support settings until the cows come home (we need to get out and unwind sometimes) trying to get the ideal settings to remove supports easily and half the time the perfect combination of settings doesn't exist (and 90% of the time the perfect combination of settings for one filament don't work for another, even of the same type).

 

Basically... probably needs manual post-processing. And by that I mean work on it by hand 🙂

Some essential tools:

• Precise tweezers: Pretty much for what you'd expect to use them for. Grab small bits of support, or bits in hard to reach areas.
• Small flat nose pliers: For grabbing bigger bits.
• Wire snippers: Like you're (hopefully) using to cut the messy bit off the end of a spool of filament after you remove it from the printer. If there's a bit sticking out of a surface if you're lucky you can cut it off with these.
• File: There's likely going to be some stubble left over. File it down level with the rest of the surface. Be careful when using "silky" filaments: too much pressure and you'll scrape the whole surface and it'll probably lose its shiny finish.
• Flathead screwdriver with a very small head: If there's support interface left over (what it looks like in the last photo) you can stick this in between that and the model and try to lever the two apart (if you're lucky once you get it started you can just pull the rest off, maybe having to grab it with your tweezers).
• Hobby knife: ALWAYS be careful using a knife. NEVER cut towards yourself. Consider cut-resistant gloves. Another "what it sounds like" thing: if you're lucky you can run this it along a surface and cut off anything. Or just for stubborn stuff. It can help to make the blade warm. ALWAYS be careful to avoid burns if you're using anything hot. My preferred method for this is to get a small glass of very hot (nearly boiling) water and dip the blade in there to warm it up then cut. Be careful not to hold the blade against the model for too long - PLA starts to melt at around 52°C (don't leave a PLA print in a car in the sun).
