    FlashForge - printing up off the Print Bed

    If I want to Print something like the attached Image, how would you do the A & H when they aren't touching the Bed? I'm guessing a breakaway support somehow?

    Yes a breakaway support, maybe in several thin columns.

    personally I'd flatten the top slightly and print it standing on end.

    2 Questions, does any of the software automatically add the breakaway supports? I spent the weekend experimenting with shapes ( max. height of 9mm ) still have to learn and test out higher items. With the Raft setting, using ABS how do you clean up the underside of all the remaining raft pieces? I tried my sanding machine but I think that just softened it and didn't actually smooth or remove anything.
