I’ve just started to use support material with ABS on a print and it seems to be very hard to remove afterwards when using the default Slic3r support material settings. The print is fairly small (2" x 2" x 1") and has 1 large overhang that requires support underneath.

Can anyone suggest Slic3r settings that may work better than the default? Also, the Slic3r manual doesn’t really provide any guidance or descriptions for the what each of the settings are meant to do. Any help would be appreciated!!
