support material removed, and the right picture shows the teapot with its support
material still attached.
The support material gets removed using a combination of tools. Some material can
easily be cracked off by hand. Support material close to the model is easier to remove

become quite an enjoyable and therapeutic task!
CAUTION: The support material and the tools are sharp. Wear
gloves and safety glasses when removing the part from the printer.
