REMOVING RAFTS

A raft is the flat support structure that is attached to your creation. Though we recommend printing without a raft, some larger
or more complicated parts may require one . If you print with a raft, the following instructions will help you remove it:
ABS RAFT / PLA PART - PLA RAFT / ABS PART
ABS RAFT / ABS PART - PLA RAFT / PLA PART

REMOVING SUPPORTS WITH WIRE CUTTERS

Use wire cutters to cut away the support structure from your model . You should cut the supports at the point where they
touch the model .
ABS rafts can be peeled away from PLA parts .
Use pliers to pull away as much of the raft as possible .
Then use a rough-grade sandpaper to remove the
remaining raft, followed by a fine-grade wet and dry
sandpaper to achieve a smoother finish.
