AThe solvent used was incorrect or ineffective

BThe printer used a single extruder instead of dual extruder

CThe main object was printed with soluble material

DThe print bed temperature was too high

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the problem of supports not dissolving

Step 2: Identify common causes
Using the wrong solvent or an ineffective one prevents support dissolution, even if printing was correct.
Final Answer:
The solvent used was incorrect or ineffective -> Option A
Quick Check:
Wrong solvent = supports stay [OK]

Quick Trick: Check solvent type if supports don't dissolve [OK]
