			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>What are the appropriate settings for support material in Skeinforge? I tried the following with poor results:</p><p>Support Flow Rate: 0.75<br />Support Gap over Perimeter Extrusion Width: 1.0<br />Support Material Choice: Everywhere<br />Support Minimum Angle: 46.0</p><p>I printed a figurine and almost the entire object had support material around it. It was impossible to remove the support without damaging the figure. I expected the support to only be visible around the areas that needed support (Chin, Arm, etc) Also, the support material did not break free easily from the object.</p>]]></content>
