Premium 3D Printer Filament—HIPS
HIPS
Description
The
Premium 3D Printer Filament—HIPS
is made of dissolvable high impact polystyrene (HIPS) with a tight
diameter tolerance.
Application & Usages
The HIPS filament is used as support material for 3D printers with dual heads. HIPS supports are easily
soluble in d-Limonene, freeing the intricate ABS or PLA printed designs.
