Removing Supports
1) Use a small spatula or chisel to pry most of the support away from the part.
This minimizes the risk of damage to the part.
2) Use a needle-nose pliers and small picks to remove support material from
areas the spatula cannot reach.
3) Use a file to remove any remaining small bits of support or ooze from the
model.
