The support material gets removed using a combination of tools. Some
material can easily be cracked off by hand. Support material close to the model
is easier to remove using tools such as wood carving chisels, long nose pliers,
or wire cutters.
It takes some practice to get comfortable with removing support material, but it
can become quite an enjoyable and therapeutic task!
CAUTION: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN REMOVING
SUPPORT MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY WITH PLA MATERIAL.
CAUTION: The support material and the tools are sharp. Wear
gloves and safety glasses when removing the part from the printer.
