How to remove Support from 3D print

There are many things that happen in 3D Printing, one of those is removing support material. In how to remove support from 3D Print, I show a way to remove support material with some common tools. Removing supports is not very difficult, but some great tools make it easier.
To get the support removed from your 3D Print, it's recommended to use some gloves and glasses.
(I know, I wasn't wearing those...)
If you are slicing your 3D model, make sure that it's oriented that you don't need to remove that many supports. also, try to use small and thin supports.

That moment when you are stuck on removing one last hard to access support, already frustrated as ...hell... and you finally give up and start searching online and you find this awesome tutorial. I have SO MUCH patience in my current state of mind, I really don’t mind you staying away from topic for half of the video and then that advertisement - I managed to break the last support off before any usable tips from this video (using only my frustration I guess)

Dude, thank you.

Showing that it's not abnormal to have a time of it removing the supports, is really the most helpful thing you could have done.

The only part of the video I needed you fast forwarded through

[pacdunn]

The general idea is there and its good advice. But you should include a technique or method of how to get those tricky spots like the nose off without damaging the print. It was all glossed over in the montage. As well as flat supports that leave the infill pattern on the print which are very hard to remove cleanly in one shot.

That looks like my gift 😍 tank you so much and another great video.

I like how you said you don't like the spatula but still ended up using it :). Thanks for the tutorial, I got my 3d printer about 10 days ago and I haven't yet printed with support but this will change, those pesky Super Saiyans will need support :D

I’m really new to 3D printing and this is an awesome video. Thanks for the help

Never had a part remove from the glass platen on my printers that easily like you show. I have had parts warp, distort, and misprint if the platen isn't warm enough, which helps adhere the part to the platen.

jesus you make it look easy lol. I removed my supports the same way and it completely effed the base of my model :'(

[meilingwalter]

How do you remove supports in a tight, encircled situation pls help me

Hi sir, I had a problem with removing support. I'm having AC Chiron printer, PLA material I used. I used CURA software. For touching Build plate and Everywhere support, the supports hardly sticks with printing part. It's very hard to remove that Sir. Sometimes Main part was damaged or broken. I always fighting with support, completely challenging. Do you have any idea to get rid of this sir?. Please comment. Support density is 15%.


In your video, your supports are weaker, easily separate from hand, but mine is I need a plier, nose plier, knife, spatula, and minus head screw driver. I hope you imagine what my struggle is sir.

Thanks sir

I have a question for everyone or anyone to answer but for some reason every thing I make keeps breaking either just from using it or taking of supports I don’t know if it’s like the filament or me or my printer but the stuff breaks very easily

[robertdaone]

I'm having issues with the supports leaving marks underneath my print where they support them. They make the prints look kind of ugly underneath the supported parts.

From this video I learned:
1. Dude I have the same problem it is what it is just be careful.
2. Video ends mid sentence and no-one care.

Great vid 10/10

when an engineer hears him calling it a triangle file.

[wfs]

what file are u using to remove the supports?

[alenminasian]

Thank you for video
Any how using single support fdm 3d printers has its own difficulty in removing the support and it doesn't seems to be a proffesional solution...it takes too much time, damage the part, not all areas of the part has tool access to remove support, also denderous to harm your hands and ...

Is it crazy that I was trying to 3d print Sonic before watching this video?

[drdronist]

how much does it take to print all these?

[VictorianTimeTraveler]

I have a print that has been going for 5 days and its almost done.
