*⚠ WARNING: INITIAL UNLOCK REQUIRED!*
*This support utilizes print-in-place "controlled snap" springs* – *it will not function* without decisive action upon first removal!
*🔴 WHAT TO DO:*
1. *After printing*, firmly grasp the base with one hand.
2. With the other hand, push on the two springs with steady force*
3. *A "CLICK" will be heard* (this is normal, it's the springs releasing!).
4. Repeat steps 2-3 several times to smoothen the movement.
*❌ WHAT NOT TO DO:*
- Do not use pliers or levers (risk of cracks).
- Do not force diagonally (only straight pull!).
*✅ Design Advantages:*
- *Self-cleaning*: The initial unlock removes print residue.
- *Secure*: PETG withstands controlled snapping (tested 50+ cycles).
- *Safety slot limiting the unlock (prevents damage).
- Concentric print lines* on the springs (enhance flexibility).
