Removing Supports

All of our engines come attached to a support tree. We do this for a number of reasons but mainly to increase protection during shipping. Check out the video below to see how simple it is to remove them from the support tree.

We’re constantly doing test prints and updating printer settings to try to accomplish a few things:
• parts fit well together
• pieces come off supports easily
• reduce marks left by supports
• less sanding for prep

There’s absolutely no disadvantage to this when the supports are done right.

*We still encourage nippers or a small saw blade to remove thin and delicate pieces like the pulley/belt parts.
