The most tedious part of the whole job is removing the printed supports
from the 3D printed part. I can use a very sharp scalpel, an ultrasonic
knife, a razor saw or photoetch scissors for this process. Most often
I use a combination of all these tools.
The residue from the supports can then be cleaned up nicely with
a few strokes of the file.
In the first step it is better to clean the supports "roughly",
further away from the actual part, to avoid damage to the part.
The balls are formed at the joints between the end of the support
and the kit part, which helps to separate the supports more easily
and prevent the parts from damage.
The engine bearer, can be produced as a single part thanks to 3D printing
together with the air intake and the firewall. Then it is much easier
for the modeler to assembly these parts cleanly and maintain proper
geometry.
The residue from these balls is then very easy to deburr.
