Topic: HIPS

Has anyone tried making HIPS filament? Looking through old threads, I have not found any information. I would really like to use HIPS as support material for my Filastruder ABS filament. Making ABS filament at $5 is awesome, but paying for $20 HIPS that is dissolved away kind of sucks.

Haven't used them myself, but that's $3/lb shipped.

Okay. This is what I was looking at also. Do you know of anyone that has tried?

Re: HIPS

I don't unfortunately. Though that is better than someone having tried and being unsuccessful!

True! I will give it a shot then.

I just ordered a cyclops hotend from Tim for one of Revolve3Ds machines. This will be the first dual extrusion machine my company owns. I fully intend on looking for the best HIPS pellets in January now that dissolvable support material will be possible.

Okay will be looking forward to that. I ordered 4lbs of HIPS pellets so I'll report how that goes over my Christmas break.
