Removing SUP710 Support by Hand
While wearing protective gloves, break away excess support material on the
outside of the 3D print. For delicate 3D prints, use a toothpick, pin or small
brush after dipping the 3D prints in water.
Removing SUP710 Support with Water Pressure
For most 3D prints, the most efficient way to remove support material is by
using a high-pressure water jet. One suitable system is the Objet WaterJet
cleaning unit. This device is marketed by Stratasys.
Figure 5-1 Objet WaterJet Cleaning Unit
To clean a 3D print using this device, you manipulate it and the water using the
built-in, waterproof sleeves. A pump turns ordinary tap water into a high-
pressure jet. A wiper keeps the window clear.
Use caution when cleaning delicate 3D prints with high-pressure water
systems.
