Cleaning 3D Printed models (Filament)
Carefully remove models and support filament from the print plate. You can use a scraper to slowly remove the support parts or to simply use as leverage. Scrappers are available beside the printer or on the Makerspace tool bench. Be careful in doing so, as being to rough can mean breaking the model. Personal protective equipment is suggested, as plastic shrapnel can tend to snap off at unexpected angles, and can be quite sharp or harmful, especially if it strikes such areas as the eye.
Be sure to also clean your area once finished. All scrap and spare plastic debris should be disposed of properly in a trash bin.
