Support material can be removed in one of three ways. The first and easiest is to simply break it away off of your printed part. Alternatively, you can remove PLA support material by hydrolysing in sodium hydroxide (care must be taken with this option). PLA can also be made extremely brittle by soaking in 80°C water for 48 hours.
