and forth to pry loose the model. Remember to use gloves as the platform
and model may still be hot.
CAUTION: It is strongly recommended that you ware the gloves to
remove the model from the perfboard.
Removing Support Material
Printed models are composed of two parts. One part is the model itself, and
the other part is the support material used to support any overhanging parts of
the model.
The support material is the same physical material as the model material, but
the support material is printed at a much lower density. It is very easy to
distinguish the model from the support material so it is easy to remove.
Have a look at the teapot in the above pictures. The left picture shows the
teapot with support material removed, and the right picture shows the teapot
with its support material still attached.
