Printed, for the first time, an object that needed support, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32063. Just can’t figure out what that massive support on top is suppose to support.

A nine volt battery I think …

Yes but the 3 walls going across the inside of the case. Can’t see that they support anything. Made my brake the 9v battery holders when I removed it.

Enjoy cleaning off that support material!

If you look at the model, it has overhangs up that tall for a little clip piece.

so, I just started do more support printing the last few days with PLA and slic3r. It seems to be a WHOLE lot easier to remove than ABS, I can take a pair of pliers, crush the support, and it all pops off. Anyone else seeing the difference between PLA and ABS in this regard?
