Removing Supports

How to Remove Supports

1. Use precision tweezers or a hobby knife to remove supports from delicate parts of the model (fingers, feathers, hair, weapon tips, etc).

2. Gently pull the model away from the supports.

3. Use precision tweezers or a hobby knife to clean up any remaining supports.

If a mini is extremely difficult to remove from the supports, it’s most likely that

• There were too many supports
• The tip diameters were too large
• The print was overexposed
• Support structures were too close and fused to the model

Warm Water Trick

Place the cleaned minis in very warm water (~110F/43C) for 30-60 seconds. This can help make removing supports easier.

Safety Reminders

• Once a container has been used to wash or warm 3D prints, do not use it for anything else.
• Never pour resin contaminated solutions down the drain. Refer to Resin Waste Disposal for more information.
