HIPS

Intermediate

High Impact Polystyrene

A dissolvable support material designed to pair with ABS. HIPS dissolves in D-Limonene, a citrus-based solvent, leaving clean supported surfaces on ABS prints. It can also be used as a lightweight standalone material that is easy to paint and post-process.

نصائح الطباعة

  • Use HIPS at the same temperature as your ABS (or 5°C lower) for the best interface adhesion.
  • D-Limonene dissolves HIPS in 12-24 hours at room temperature. Warming to 40°C cuts dissolve time in half.
  • Reuse D-Limonene until it becomes syrupy — one liter handles 10+ dissolves.
  • HIPS makes an excellent standalone material for lightweight props — it sands and paints better than ABS.
  • Set the support interface Z gap to 0.1mm for easy dissolution without the support fusing to the ABS part.
