3.00mm HIPS Filament by Prototype Supply, 1kg

High quality 3.00mm HIPS 3D printer filament (1.0kg / 2.2lbs.)

High-impact Polystyrene - HIPS is useful as support material for ABS. Great as break-off support or dissolvable support. HIPS dissolves with d-Limonene or soften with PineSol. HIPS can also be used for general printing.

For best looking results, we offer color-matched Prototype Supply ABS Plastic Filament which works very well when paired with this HIPS.

Compatible with:

• Deezmaker Bukobot

• Makerbot Thing-o-Matic w/ Mk6 Stepstruder, CupCake

• Ultimaker

• PrintrBot Simple, Plus, LC, original

• Other printers with 3 mm compatible extruders and hot-ends, having a heated print bed

• Full name High Impact Poly Styrene
• What is it? HIPS adds some impact modifiers to polystyrene which would otherwise be too brittle for use in 3D printing.
  
  Although more brittle, HIPS is otherwise very similar to ABS when used for 3D printing.
  
  HIPS and ABS adheres fairly well to each other during dual-material printing, so that the part tends to stay together during build time.
  
  Support structures made with the more brittle HIPS is easy to break off and remove. Any remaining HIPS can be dissolved with d-Limonene (citrus oil) which generally does not affect the ABS.
