I see small chunks falling off and the water is all cloudy. Smells odd too.

The most optimally printed Benchy ever!

I'm curious how smooth it will be compared to typical supports with gaps.

The big idea is to be able to print pieces where removing the supports would be impractical.

The Benchy here is just a tongue in cheek test piece with the most unoptimal orientation possible. It the print succeeds, I'll make a timelapse of what happens when it's put in water.

(I'm just guessing here, I don't have experience with water-soluble filament.)

I wonder if I should make a time lapse of the part where it's dunked into water.

This stuff smells weird.

This Benchy is in bit of a pickle!
