Filament U-HIPS

Supporting material

Filament U-HIPS is a typical support material used in double extruder printers. It also works as a base material for printing housings and figurines. It blends the layers very nicely.

Parts printed with U-HIPS can be sanded (or otherwise mechanically processed), primed, and painted. For material with medium shrinkage, it is recommended to use a heated table and door, which allows you to control the cooling process.
