Description

eSUN HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) filament is a versatile and robust material, commonly employed as a dissolvable support material in dual-extrusion 3D printing, particularly when combined with ABS. Its primary advantage lies in its solubility in limonene, a citrus-based solvent, which allows for clean and easy removal of complex support structures without manual post-processing that could damage the final part. This natural-colored, 1.75mm filament provides a smooth printing experience, characterized by good layer adhesion and reliable extrusion.

Beyond its utility as a support material, eSUN HIPS exhibits good toughness and impact resistance, making it suitable for functional prototypes and end-use parts where moderate mechanical strength is required. Users will find it relatively easy to print, with a recommended print temperature range of 220-260°C. Proper bed adhesion, often aided by a heated bed, is crucial for minimizing warpage. Its ease of preservation further contributes to a consistent and hassle-free 3D printing workflow, delivering reliable performance for a wide range of FDM applications.

Key Features

  • Limonene Soluble Supports: Easily dissolves in limonene for clean removal of complex support structures, especially suitable for ABS prints.
  • Good Toughness: Provides enhanced impact resistance and mechanical durability for functional applications.
  • Universal Compatibility: Engineered for seamless performance on a wide range of open-source desktop and industrial 3D printers.
  • Excellent Print Quality: Delivers consistent extrusion and strong layer adhesion, resulting in smooth and high-quality finishes.
  • Easy Preservation: Designed for stable storage, maintaining material properties and printability over time.

Applications

  • Soluble Support Structures: Ideal for creating sacrificial supports that dissolve in limonene, perfect for complex ABS prints.
  • Functional Prototypes: Suitable for rapid prototyping of parts requiring moderate impact strength and dimensional stability.
  • Jigs and Fixtures: Can be used to print temporary tools, jigs, or fixtures that benefit from its toughness.
  • Disposable Forms: Useful for creating molds or forms that need to be easily removed after casting or curing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the optimal printing temperatures for eSUN HIPS filament?

For eSUN HIPS, a nozzle temperature between 220°C and 260°C is recommended, with a bed temperature of 90-110°C to ensure strong adhesion and minimize warping. Adjust settings based on your specific printer and part geometry for best results.

How should eSUN HIPS be stored to maintain its quality?

HIPS filament is relatively stable but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. A sealed container with desiccant is ideal to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to printing issues.

What solvent is used to dissolve HIPS support structures, and how is it used?

HIPS supports are effectively dissolved using Limonene, a citrus-based solvent. Submerge the printed part with supports in limonene until the HIPS softens and degrades. Ensure good ventilation and proper safety precautions when handling solvents.

Can eSUN HIPS be used for functional parts, or only as a support material?

While eSUN HIPS excels as a soluble support for ABS, its good toughness and impact resistance also make it suitable for printing functional prototypes, jigs, and fixtures where moderate mechanical properties are required.
