Haha, thanks for the reply . As I said 3D printing newb .

I'm using Cura, which does have support settings of course, so I'm exploring that now, and yes I've considered just adding my own to the model and clipping them off. I think the sword blade may give me issues also, no? Should I insert 1 or 2 "posts" between it and the ball as well? I suppose this all will just be trial and error until I grasp the process.
