slowly from as close to surface as possible to avoid
producing dust from material . It is also advised that the
vacuum dust extractor be over top of the bin .

the feeds with steps of 100 mm when needed and brushing away
the powder until you have most of the visible powder removed as

print platform with a rubber mallet .

possible print can now be post processed . See the
