Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand support gap distance
The support gap controls the space between supports and the print; increasing it makes supports easier to remove.Step 2: Evaluate other options

Hard supports = Increase gap distance [OK]
Quick Trick: Adjust support gap to ease removal [OK]
