This PVA (Poly Vinyl Alcohol) is water soluble and comes on a 500g spool (approx 140m), a more handy size for experimentation, and is for 1.75mm extrusion. We have had is manufactured to be easier to use and dissolve than the Makerbot brand PVA. We have tested it on Makerbot 3D printers. More
HIPS (limonene soluble) Filament - 1.75mm - 1 kg spool
HIPS (High Impact Polystrene) Filament is designed to dissolvable easily in a limonene bath in just 8-24 hours (depending on size and geometry of print). Limonene is a common, colorless, citrus-scented solvent available online and in grocery/home stores. (available from us - search Dissolve Away) More
Dissolve Away dissolves HIPS filament with no effect on ABS. Making HIPS perfect for support material on dual extruding 3D Printers like the FlashForge Dreamer, Creator and Makerbot Replicator 2X. More
This PVA (Poly Vinyl Alcohol) is water soluble and comes on a 500g spool (approx 140m), a more handy size for experimentation, and is for 3mm extrusion. We have had is manufactured to be easier to use and dissolve than the Makerbot brand PVA. We have tested it on Makerbot 3D printers.
You can just swap the filament from your extruder, and load in the PVA filament as normal, then build objects just like you would with ABS or PLA- just change the extrusion temp to 185-195 degrees
We have experimented and tested it and produced a fact sheet with some cool dissolving Octopus photos - check it out http://www.bilby3d.com.au/BilbyCNCPVAFactSheet.pdf OR check out the dissolving octopus here:Dissolving Octopus NOTE PVA works well with a cold bed and PLA as the model. It does not pair well with ABS as ABS will not stick to PVA and vise versa More
