    Polymaker releases PolySupport for removing support material

    The team at Polymaker was tired of dealing with the headaches of 3D printing support materials just like everyone else. After a year of R&D, the team is releasing PolySupport, which should change the way makers using FDM 3D printers look at the process altogether. Rather than dreading removing supports from 3D models, users should be able to look forward to a fun and easy process in removing supports quickly and successfully.

    Below is a look at a bunny 3D printed with PolySupport, with and without support:

    This sounds promising. Does it work with ABS and other materials, or just with PLA?

    that was my question as well andrew. does it need a 1 layer gap so it releases easily as well or can it be printed in full contact.
