MakerBot PVA 375-0002A Water-Soluble Support Filament for METHOD 3D Printers
MakerBot's Precision Dissolving PVA ensures fast and effortless support removal for your most complex prints. This 1.75mm PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) support filament is specifically designed for use with MakerBot METHOD and METHOD X 3D printers, enabling you to create intricate geometries and complex parts with ease. PVA dissolves in water, making post-processing simple and office-friendly.
Key Features
-
Water-Soluble Support Material: PVA is a water soluble support material that is compatible with lower temperature model materials including PLA, PETG, Tough, and Nylon.
-
Easy Post-Processing: Simply dissolve the support structures in water for a clean, smooth finish on your prints.
-
Smart Spool Technology: Smart Spool provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while integrated desiccant maintains optimal moisture levels.
-
Office-Friendly: Because PVA is water soluble it is very office friendly, and is a great option for printing the most complex geometries in a prototyping environment.
-
Moisture-Protected Packaging: The spools are shipped in resealable mylar bags, which are impermeable to light and moisture and help protect the filament from potential damage.
-
Precision Manufacturing: Manufactured to strict diameter tolerances and quality specifications for consistent, reliable prints.
Perfect for Complex 3D Printing
It is mainly used in conjunction with PLA, though it can also be used with other materials, such as PETG, Nylon, and Tough. PVA support material is ideal for creating prototypes with overhangs, internal channels, and intricate details that would be impossible to print without dissolvable supports. Once your print is complete, simply submerge it in water and watch the support structures dissolve away, leaving behind a perfectly clean finished part.
Smart Material Management
The integrated Smart Spool system communicates wirelessly with your MakerBot METHOD printer, automatically detecting the material type and tracking the remaining filament. Since PVA is sensitive to moisture, you should store it in the dry-sealed material bays of the MakerBot METHOD or METHOD X. The spool also includes desiccant to maintain a moisture-free environment during storage and printing.
