11.4 HIPS
HIPS is high impact polystyrene, and as for behavior, it's similar to ABS, so it's easy to print.
It's a universal and stable material with excellent heat resistance, and it produces very
smooth layers. HIPS is also very malleable, and it can be dissolved using limonene. HIPS is
mostly suited for printable mechanical components.
