Hi everyone,
I have a question, more about the actual printing process than about modeling itself.
If I have a hollow cube, I can imagine it has to be filled with support material to build the upper cap to close the cube. Will the support material still be there when I receive the finished model at home, or is it a empty cube?
Then, out of curiosity; how do you clean the support material out of the model? Do you leave a hole open, clean it and afterwards close it?
Thanks,
Wesley

Hmm, I've checked those pages but I don't see any notice about escape holes in any of them. Am I missing something or is it just a general requirement?
If so, is there a option to fix those escape holes and how big do they have to be?
