Do you have a video about removing the support?

Not really… It was a lot of manual tugging to pull it all off the model, followed by using an exacto knife in some areas to cut it free. I wouldn’t advise using supports if you can build custom ones into the model itself - they would make printing a lot faster with less impact on the final workpiece. The dragon ended up with a lot of little rough points on the underside surface of the wings.

The dragon was printed for 12 hours and the Santa Bot for 6.

I can imagine that it was a lot of work to pull off the support. But you’ve got a handsome dragon!

I have a video of me removing the support material from one of the nude figures I printed. It’s about 7 minutes long and not terribly exciting but happy to share if you like.

Yes sure!

I have never printed with support and was looking up videos on youtube. But i couldn’t find much…
