Removing supports from the OpenLOCK ports

OpenLOCK parts print with small supports in front of the OpenLOCK ports. Remove the supports so you can insert the OpenLOCK.

Use a pair of pliers to remove the supports. Be careful not to break the dividers between the OpenLOCK ports.

I notice that remaining bumps of plastic and rough top sides of the openings makes it very difficult to insert the lock pieces. Is there a technique for removing the supports cleanly or for smoothing the ports?

  Yes, I use a pair of long nose plyers, this pulls out the support without forcing apart the OpenLOCK port
