How to remove PolySupport?

Post by econopotamus » Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:05 pm

I just bought a dual extruder MakerGear direct from MakerGear. During the purchase process they suggested a roll of "PolySupport" as an add-on and I went for it because the MakerGear description says "PolySupport simply peels off of the main print. "

So now I have a couple fabbed objects with PolySupport attached but I can't get the PolySupport off. If I use pliers and twist hard enough to crunch the PolySupport supports it destroys the PLA as well.

Does anybody know the trip to actually get the PolySupport off the PLA model?

-MakerGear M2 Rev. E. - Dual Extruder - Simplify3d - Used ooze shield - Set supports to zero distance because several prints failed by supports not sticking (ironically, it now seems) -
