When you print many objects on a 3D printer like the Replicator, the printer needs to build up a support structure to print onto when a piece of the part would be up in the air. After the printed piece is done, this support structure needs to be removed from your part to get your finished piece. This is usually just breaking off the mesh type support system that gets printed.

Here is an example of a part with the support system still attached.
