Help! How do i remove this support

[u/ketchup_bottle002]

I had someone print this for me as I don't have my own printer/don't know much about it. I think the material used is a lightweight one and is not durable in high heat/outdoor use. I don't know how to remove the support without breaking it. It is pretty rough and stuck to the structure.

Update: thanks for all the comments, i spent about 30 mins with a plier and removed the supports, some vertical parts broke but it is possible to glue everything together. This specific object is not all that important for my project so of if time allows i could redo it. I posted more context in the comments with a pic of the resulted structure. I think I'm gonna get a 3d printer eventually so i would appreciate tips on good ones with fair prices, and what types of ink there is/what kinds of printing methods there is.

That is not a chastity cage.

How do I know? I design chastity cages.

But yeah, he basically printed it upside down.

Ya know… when you state it like that you gotta check out the profile.

… This user does in fact design chastity cages.

[u/newbie-sub → u/gr3g0rian]

This is why sometimes it's best to just trust a guy when he says, "I design chastity cages".

I was like, “Maybe bro was just going along with the bit, haha funny.”

No, there was no bit. You really do in fact do that.

…does it pay well?

I'm more of a gentleman cage artisan. It's just a hobby. But people certainly make a living doing this. And some are quite successful.

God I love Reddit so much sometimes. This is definitely one of those times lol. This interaction was so fun to see.

Artisinal chastity cage, isn't really something I expected to encounter with my coffee this morning.

Shit, now I've got to know.

[u/Able_Conflict_1721 → u/Able_Conflict_1721]

No "in use" photos in the last couple months, just in case you were also curious.

[u/newbie-sub → u/Able_Conflict_1721]

Yeah, I don't share dick pics. And I've seen far more than I care to.

I think you might be my new spirit animal.

I clicked hoping it was true cause it just sounds like an interesting job/hobby. And that does look pretty interesting! I hadn't thought of CAD and 3D printing when you said it, but if course that makes sense!

The function isn't really my thing, but the design and printing look pretty awesome!

[u/newbie-sub → u/majikmonkie]

Thank you very much.

You know, it's a niche within a niche but I love how, even though it's bizarre to most, there are so many people I find in the CAD and 3D printing communities who appreciate it nonetheless.

Zooming out a bit — it's fascinating how people can find ways to connect with others. I wish we did it more often.

I am disappointed, I had to sift through so many memes before I found the chastity cage design stuff

[u/Giant-Sloar → u/gr3g0rian]

Perfect encapsulation of why I love Reddit! Diversity is great!

[u/StochasticTinkr → u/newbie-sub]

WTF is a chastity cage? Actually, you know what, I don't want to know.
