6.0 Finishing Parts
6.1 Removing Breakaway Support Material
Breakaway Support Material is produced using the same material as the desired
part, and therefore Robox® only requires a single material head and one reel
installed. A lattice of material is extruded at the same time as the rest of the part
which is used to ‘prop up’ the printing of unsupported areas (overhangs, bridges
etc.).
Once your object has finished printing, you will need to remove the support
material to reveal the finished part. There are many ways to acheive this, but it
usually requires a combination of brute force and delicate trimming. To help you,
we’ve provided a set of 4 cleanup tools in the accessories box:
There are a range of shapes which should be very helpful when cleaning up small
blemishes on the surface of the part and for cutting away support in difficult to
reach areas.
Some material can easily be broken away from the part, or a pair of needle-
nose pliers can be useful for crushing/breaking support and then used to pull
the material away. It can be quite a frustrating task, but you will soon discover
methods that work, and those that don’t - once you’ve found a good one it’s
great to see a perfect model emerge from a lump of (seemingly) random plastic.

WARNING! The set of cleanup tools are very sharp - please take extreme
caution when using them and always cut away from your body. Not
suitable for use by children except under adult supervision.
•
WEAR GLASSES Always use safety glasses/goggles when removing support
material, especially PLA as the fragments can be very sharp and could
damage the eyes.
•
WEAR GLOVES
Always wear gloves when removing support material as the
tools and removed material can be very sharp.
