Instructions
Print with support. I used KISSlicer's dense support function, with the support flow rate reduced to 70% by an external script. The support was still pretty hard, so you may be able to go even lower in the flow rate.

I printed this out yesterday and am still working on the support! (Slic3r, 2.5mm support, default flow rate.) It's definitely worth reducing the flow rate and increasing the spacing as much as you can. I'll post a picture once it looks presentable.
reducing the flow rate is pretty critical in my experience. I have had several PLA prints where the support is fused to the object. This one came pretty close actually.
With ABS the problem is less severe, mostly because the plastic is less sticky and also printed colder relative to its Tg. Getting good supports is striking a balance between support flow rate, fan speed, and extrusion temperature so your object has enough layer adhesion to not delaminate when you remove the supports, but the supports are weak enough to be removed easily.
Another hint is to actually decrease the flow rate only on interface supports (the increased density regions right before the object begins).

Looks like what my machine produces when the model breaks free of the build platform during a 3 hour print... I never knew it had a name... :)
