Consider this scenario: A 3D print uses soluble support material and is placed in a solvent bath after printing. What is the expected result?
AThe main object dissolves completely
BThe main object melts and deforms
CThe support material dissolves, leaving the main object intact
DBoth the support and main object remain unchanged
