8.7 Supported Materials
MMU2 supports the most common materials (such as PLA or ABS) along with soluble
materials (BVOH and PVA+) from the start. In addition, we’re working on expanding the
range of supported materials. Support for additional materials is delivered through software
updates.
Please, keep in mind that mixing different types of materials is not
recommended due to different temperatures for bed and nozzle.
Check our website and blog regularly to get the latest news about supported materials.
8.8 Soluble Supports
We strongly suggest to use
Verbatim BVOH
support material. The second best option is
Prima Select PVA
, both available in our e-shop. Unfortunately, the quality of different PVA
brands can vary greatly and we cannot guarantee good results when working with soluble
materials from other brands
8.8.1 Soluble support interface only
Water soluble filament us usually fairly expensive. In order to greatly reduce the amount of
water soluble filament needed, you can choose to print soluble support interface only. With
this option turned on, only the last few layers in contact with the model with be printed using
soluble filament.

8.8.2 Completely soluble supports
When removing soluble supports, try to break away as much material as possible while the
object is still dry. Then continue peeling the material under running warm water. The last bits
can be removed by letting the print soak in warm water. Water soluble filaments must be
always
stored in dry conditions.
