Materials in experimental fase

HIPS

HIPS is a material with properties similar to those of ABS but that reacts to different solvents. It’s frequently used as 
support material for ABS printing.

PVA

PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) is targeted at making support structures for  overhangs printing. It is soluble in wáter, making 
it easy and safe to get rid off afterwards.

Laybrick

The laybrick is a plastic-based material that imitates the finishing of stone. It’s extruded like PLA, having similar cha-
racteristics, but has a tendency to clog the nozzles. Recommended only to expert users.

Laywood

The laybrick is another plastic-based material that imitates wood finishing. Not to be extruded with standard 0.4 
nozzles due to the size of its particles, causing a clog. Recommended only to expert users.

Filaflex

Filaflex is a flexible material that comes in different colors. Extrusion is simple but requires the use of a 0.6 mm 
nozzle.
