About PVA

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a water-soluble support material that dissolves in ordinary tap water within 2-12 hours. It is best paired with PLA in a dual-extruder setup, allowing you to print complex geometries with supports that can be completely removed without any manual effort, leaving near-perfect supported surfaces. PVA is extremely moisture-sensitive and must be stored in an airtight container at all times.

Dry filament before use: 50°C for 5 hours.
