Filamenton TECH HIPS - Natural - 1,75 mm
Filaments manufactured according to the usual Herz formula are now available under the name FilamentOn! FilamentOn HiPS is an impact-resistant polystyrene that is primarily used as a support material in combination with ABS in dual-head printing, as it is soluble in limonene. However, it can also be an excellent choice as a standalone material: it is characterised by good impact resistance, easy machinability and a smooth printable surface.
HiPS behaves similarly to ABS: a closed print chamber, heated bed and higher nozzle temperature are recommended. As a soluble support material, it dissolves completely within a few hours when placed in limonene after printing, leaving no trace on the final product.
Where to use it:
- As a support material for ABS prints, removable with limonene solution
- For impact-resistant parts (e.g. covers, models, functional objects)
- For modelling and prototyping where post-processing is important
Where not to use:
- In environments with high heat loads (softening point around 90–100 °C)
- As a support material for PLA/PETG printing (poor adhesion, incompatible)
