3D Prima TW HIPS300RE HIPS Filament, 3 mm, 1 kg Spool, Red

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a relatively new material for FFF/FDM desktop 3D printers. Polystyrene filament has many similar characteristics to ABS thermoplastic filament with regards to impact strength and hardness. It is often used as support material but even on its own it prints very nicely. The Polystyrene plastic filament can be dissolved completely in Limonene. If you have a dual extruder, you can print with ABS and HIPS to create structures impossible to make without support (think large overhang, ball and socket joints, and gear mechanisms). Soak the finished print in Limonene which then dissolves away the HIPS leaving the final ABS part. 3D-Prima HIPS 3D filament is suitable for a variety of 3D printer, Makerbot, UP, Cubify, Leapfrog, Reprap, Ultimaker, Mendel, Prusa, Huxley, Wanhao, Flash forge and many other FDM printers. 1 kg Spool
