Removing Supports

Supports are used when printing creations that need a supporting structure to print properly.

When using PLA or ABS as a support material, peel the supports away from the part. Then, using wire
cutters, cut away the support structure from your creation. Once the supports have been cut away, use
fine-grade sandpaper (not included) to finish smoothing the part.

When using 

Infinity Rinse-Away™

 support material, run warm water over the part until the part can be

removed from the print pad. Submerge the part in warm water until the supports begin to soften. Pull the
supports away from the part using pliers. With most of the support material removed, use a blunt-edged
pick or toothbrush to remove residual support material from holes and crevices. To remove support
material from moving parts or areas that are difficult to reach, it is recommended that the part is allowed
to soak in water for several hours. Then, rinse the part under running warm water to ensure all supports
have been removed.

Removing Supports - Optional Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank

The Ultrasonic Support Removal Tank automatically removes PLA support material from ABS models. There
are two methods for removing or weakening the material.

Method

Advantages

Disadvantages

Hot Water

• Corrosive chemicals are not used.

• Support material requires physical force to crumble away.
• Support material in hidden cavities may remain if the user is unable to
reach them.
• The process can be more lengthy.

Caustic Soda

• Support material is quickly removed.
• Support material hidden in cavities will be dissolved without
physical force.

• Requires health and safety procedures.

Hot Water Method

CAUTION: This process uses hot water (approximately 80°C or 176°F). Wear all Personal

Protective Equipment (PPE).

CAUTION: Do not operate without water in the cleaning tank. Damage may occur.

CAUTION: Never use boiling water. Damage may occur.

CAUTION: The unit must be positioned on a flat, stable work surface. Do not tip over or

move the tank during its operation. Electrical equipment can become damaged when

exposed to water or other fluids.

Pour 0.75 liters (0.79 quarts) of water into the tank.
