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
using tools such as wood carving chisels, long nose pliers, or wire cutters.
It takes some practice to get comfortable with removing support material, but it can
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.
