terial would just fall on the bed. You can build
two types of support structures; breakaway
support and soluble support.
Breakaway support is a support type that adds
support material in the same material and color
as the material you use to print your object. In
this image the support material is printed with
the second extruder. After the print is nished
you have to breakaway the support structure
manually. Using breakaway support simplies
the slicing and printing process, however, it is
not suitable when the support is in places you
can not reach. It will be difcult to remove if
your print is small.
Soluble support is only possible if you have two extruders (with your Creatr HS you are the lucky
owner of a dual extrusion 3D printer). The advantage of soluble support is that you can dissolve
your support structure after printing, and it hardly leaves any marks on the surface of your print.
At this moment, we support two types of support material:
PVA, to be used to support a PLA print. PVA is solvable in ordinary tab water. The soluble sup-
port material needs to be inserted in the second extruder. PVA is the safest material to dissolve
since you only need water.
HIPS, to be used to support an ABS print. HIPS can be solved using D-Limonene.
TIP: If you take care of a few things before or after using PVA or HIPS, you will ensure
the highest quality of your prints. Before using PVA or HIPS to print, make sure you ex-
trude the PVA or HIPS generously to ush away any remaining material in the nozzle.
TIP: After using PVA or HIPS, make sure you unload the lament after the print. Also, clean out the
nozzle thoroughly by loading another material (PLA or ABS for example) through the nozzle and
having it extrude. This will minimize the amount of residue left over in your nozzle.
After your Creatr HS is nished printing, you need to remove your print [including the support ma-
terial] from the bed. Place your object together with the support material in the correct solvent for
your support material and the support structures will dissolve. You do need some patience for this,
as it might take up to a few hours to dissolve.
NOTE: we sometimes get feedback from clients that want to speed up the dissolving of
PVA by using hotter water. Hot water might damage your print.
