3DP HIPS
3DP HIPS
HIPS 3D Printer Filament is an easy to print, High Impact Polystyrene with multi-functional properties. Our HIPS is an excellent support material in combination with ABS, because it dissolves in D’limonene and ABS remains unaffected. HIPS is very suitable for detailed prints, but also for large objects because the material shows very limited warping. Furthermore our HIPS is very light and durable, has good interlayer bonding, can be glued easily and the colors result in a smooth matte surface of the 3D printed objects. High Impact Polystyrene is therefore widely used in model building.
About 3D Platform Materials:
3D Platform 3D printers utilize an open market platform, which is capable of printing most materials created for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
Materials must meet the following criteria:
– The material type/shape matches the extruder (e.g. filament or pellets).
– The diameter of the material matches the diameter of the extruder (typically 1.75, 2.85 or 6.0 mm).
– The melting point (“print temp”) has a melting point that is equal to or less than that of the extruder (typically 290°C).
– The maximum bed temp (typically 145°C) is within the limits of the material.
– The air temp (sometimes called “chamber” or “oven” temp) of the machine is within the limits of the material.
This includes, but not limited to PLA (Polylactic Acid), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), Nylon, Ninja Flex, HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), TPU, Wood or Metal filled materials, Nylons, some Polycarbonate materials. Note: Some materials may require increased bed and nozzle temperatures, as well as additional ventilation. To ensure print quality and an extend printer nozzle life cycle, we strongly recommend using consistent, good quality filament.
