Topic: Printing with PLA.

I was wondering if there was a choice solvent for PLA plastic clogs? Perhaps one that doesn't melt ABS. That way you can print with one plastic for the model and the other for the support material and melt away the support after. smile

Good link. Thanks. Do you know where to find the chemical safety sheet of typical ABS and PLA plastic? Perhaps I could ask my old chem professor what will serve that purpose based on the makeup of the materials.
