I casually read this tip on Reddit and tried it, and it has been a game changer for removing supports, It is such a good tip I felt I had to share it with community.
This is my new process flow for cleaning and removing supports, once you try this will never go back.
After print is completed
-
Rinse in alcohol or whatever to remove uncured resin.
-
Wash your print in very hot water, hold it in sink while very hot water is running on the tips of supports, the plastic will get soft and the supports will fall off with almost zero force, it also greatly reduces scarring and breaks.
