MakerBot MP05417 Dissolvable HIPS Support Filament 1.75mm 1kg Spool
The MakerBot MP05417 Dissolvable Filament is a premium HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) 3D printer filament designed specifically for the MakerBot Replicator 2X dual-extrusion 3D printer. This innovative support material works seamlessly with MakerBot ABS filament to enable complex prints with intricate internal structures and delicate overhangs that were previously impossible to achieve.
Key Features
-
Limonene-Soluble Support Material: Dissolves completely in a limonene bath in just 8-24 hours, leaving your ABS prints clean and intact
-
Dual Extrusion Compatibility: Engineered for use with MakerBot Replicator 2X and other dual-extruder 3D printers using 1.75mm filament
-
Precision Quality Control: Comprehensively tested at 100-micron and 200-micron layer resolutions for reliable, consistent performance
-
1kg Spool: Generous spool size provides ample material for multiple complex projects
-
Excellent Adhesion: Adheres well to Kapton tape on heated build plates for stable printing
-
Consistent Diameter: Laser-tested 1.75mm diameter ensures smooth extrusion and predictable results
Perfect for Complex 3D Prints
MakerBot Dissolvable Filament opens up new possibilities for 3D printing intricate geometries, including internal moving parts, ball bearings, hinges, and delicate architectural details. Use it as solid infill support alongside MakerBot ABS filament on your dual-extruder printer, then simply dissolve the support material away to reveal your finished creation.
Easy Post-Processing with Limonene
Limonene is a common, colorless, citrus-scented solvent derived from orange rinds and available online or at grocery and home stores. After printing, immerse your part in a limonene bath and the HIPS support material dissolves completely within 8-24 hours depending on the size and complexity of the print. The finished ABS part will carry a refreshing citrus scent for a few days after removal.
Professional-Grade Quality Standards
Every meter of MakerBot filament undergoes stringent laser diameter testing to ensure consistently round cross-section and precise 1.75mm sizing. This translates to reliable flow through your extruder nozzle, reduced print failures, and professional-quality results trusted by leading institutions and companies worldwide.
Print Settings & Compatibility
This dissolvable filament requires a heated build platform and is optimized for dual-extrusion printing with MakerBot ABS filament. The material features a glass transition temperature of 100°C, melting temperature of 160°C, and recommended nozzle temperature of 230°C. For best results, ensure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free, and store filament in a cool, dry place as HIPS is moisture-sensitive.
