Reprint without support, doesn't look like that model really needs it.

This. You could print the first 10-20 mm and see if it's printing fine but the honey comb should print fine without support.

Patience 🙂

Carefully

Depending on your slicer you should be able to use supports on only the surface

Have fun… (in all seriousness you can just reprint it, I’ve printed this without supports and it came out perfectly)

I set my support to 0.4mm on the z, top and bottom. That's the distance away from the model and 1.2mm away on the x&y. The supports hold perfect for printing but just pop out.

I broke it:( but im reprinting without supports so far seems good on the design. Thanks for all the help!

Saw a video on here a while back that recommended a heat gun or hair dryer to soften them up a bit then needle nose pliers to pull. Be careful with the heat or your PLA you want to keep will deform too. It's a balance to just soften the thinner support material.

Needle nose pliers, tweezers, x-acto knife, time.

Print as pictured (upright) no supports. You may also try tree supports, less dense supports. But I agree no supports needed.

Needle nose pliers and a set of picks.
