PVA – 2.85mm Formfutura Helios Support 3D Printing Filament 300g
Formfutura Helios Support is a water-soluble PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) support material for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing with styrene-based materials, or thermoplastics that need to be 3D printed at elevated temperatures. Formfutura Helios Support is a 3D printer filament with excellent thermal stability that can be 3D printed at nozzle temperatures up to 250° C. This makes Helios Support an ideal PVA support material with good thermal and chemical adherence to Styrene-based filaments and other materials that need to be 3D printed at higher temperatures.
Key features:
Good solubility in lukewarm water
Circulating water will speed up the dissolvability process
Excellent thermal stability, resulting in minimal risk on deterioration/crystalizing inside the nozzle
Max thermal stability of 250° C, tested up to 256 seconds with no flow
Can be printed in heated build chambers up to 60° C
Biodegradable once dissolved in water
Safe dissolution in tap water
Can be disposed of in the kitchen sink, or household drain with an excess of water
Good bonding to Styrene-based materials and other (thermo)plastics that print within a similar temperature range
Good adherence to ABS, TitanX, ClearScent ABS, ApolloX, Crystal Flex, Python Flex and Volcano PLA
Applications:
3D printing geometries with large overhangs, or complex hollow structures
PVA Molds
Suggested Printing Temperature:235 – 255° C
