How can I help Norman - what bit is it that you don't understand - perhaps I can re-phrase it better :scratch:
SwarfnStuff:
Andrew,
The bit, "(the stuff that makes temporary scaffolding for the construction.)" is called a raft, I guess cos the part 'floats' on it. Only know this from reading other post re, 3D printers.
Three or four of the blokes at my club have em. I find them interesting but have no room nor $ for them.
Also read of putting masking tape (think it has to be the blue, not the cheapo stuff.) on the platform and telling the program not to lay a raft.
You are making stuff and that's always good.

awemawson:
Thanks John but I was avoiding using the word raft, as the raft was dead easy to remove.
It was the supports for the overhang, which were quite extensive on the peg, that were hard to remove. The threaded screw had to be at the bottom of the print to ensure it would fit, hence a lot of the rest of it with its flanges was out in free space and would fall without the scaffold support.
SwarfnStuff:
Thanks Andrew,
As my 8yr old grandson says about school, "I learn stuff here".
Looking again at your photos, I can see what you mean about the supporting structure betwixt the raft and flange located above the screwy bit.
That would definitely require some careful removal or a wrecked part could easily result.

Edit, Just had another look and there was more support around the spool bit to stop the upper flange drooping. Lots of scaffolding / supporting stuff to remove.
