3D printing with water soluble material is a great way to produce complex geometry with overhangs. Parts with supports using PVA filament can take many hours to fully dissolve in water. Using a orbital shaker can help speed up the process and reduce the clean up from post processing.

PVA supports got you beat? Shake it off, ah ah!
