Removing rafts
A raft is the flat support structure that is attached to the base of your creation if you enabled that option when building the .cube
file.
Though it is recommended that printing be done without a raft, some larger, more complicated parts may require one.

Removing supports
Supports are used when printing creations that need a supporting structure to print properly. Cut away the support structure from
your
creation using wire cutters. Once the supports have been cut away, use a fine-grade sandpaper to finish smoothing the part.

ABS rafts can be peeled away from PLA parts.
PLA rafts can be pulled from ABS parts
Use pliers to pull away as much of the raft as possible. Then use a rough-grade sandpaper to
remove the remaining raft material, followed by a fine-grade wet and dry sandpaper to achieve
a smoother finish.
