Not all HIPS is the same quality or price, though.<\/p>\n<p>One common complaint about bad HIPS filaments is that they leave a residue behind after they are dissolved. While this might not be a big deal in the short term, it can add extra cleaning steps to the post-processing phase of 3D printing.<\/p>\n<p>The filaments on this list won&#8217;t give you that kind of performance issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2oz0n6N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">eSUN makes a fantastic HIPS<\/a> that we highly recommend. It has several advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordable price<\/li>\n<li>Many colors<\/li>\n<li>Good tolerance<\/li>\n<li>Easy to print with<\/li>\n<li>Easy to detach from the

HIPS doesn\u2019t vary too much from brand to brand in terms of overall material quality. But some brands offer better tolerances and better overall customer experience.<\/p>\n<p>These are the brands that always offer good prices and will replace a bad spool free of charge. Hopefully you can find a brand that fits your needs below.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How Does HIPS Filament Dissolve?<\/h2>\n<p>Just in case you have stumbled into this article and don&#8217;t know what HIPS is used for exactly, let&#8217;s go over the basics.<\/p>\n<p>HIPS stands for High Impact Polystyrene. HIPS can be used on its own as a fabrication material or in conjunction with other plastics as a support material in the printing process.<\/p>\n<p>The best HIPS filaments print well at 230\u00baC with a heated bed at 50-60\u00baC and dissolve in D-Limonene. Since HIPS filament has similar characteristics to ABS, it is an ideal support material for ABS prints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/78341243\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Do You Need d-Limonene? YES<\/h2>\n<p>d-Limonene is a solvent and degreaser that is often used to remove other chemicals such as plastics from a surface. It is also found in lemon peels and the rinds of other citrus fruits, hence it&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, d-Limonene does not dissolve ABS plastic, only HIPS filament, which makes it an ideal solvent to use when 3D printing with HIPS.<\/p>\n<p>Because HIPS dissolves in d-Limonene, you need to have some handy when you print with HIPS. Otherwise you will have a lot of trouble removing the support structures from your prints as the people in the above video did.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the above video, here is a video that shows how easy d-Limonene makes the process of removing HIPS support material from printed objects:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G4HWzoBPA7Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Best d-Limonene for 3D Printing<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know you need d-Limonene, where should you get it?<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation is that you purchase a 1 gallon can of d-Limonene from MG Chemicals. 1 gallon might seem like a lot, but you will go through it quickly over time. But if you prefer, MG Chemicals does sell 1 Liter canisters as well.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the general overview:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\"  data-aawp-product-id=\"B00RBO76FK\" data-aawp-product-title=\"MG Chemicals433-4L d-Limonene  Pure Grade  Cleaner Degreaser and 3-D Printing Chemical 1 Gallon Can  Clear\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\" data-aawp-click-tracking=\"title\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\"\n           href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00RBO76FK?tag=printermateri-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"MG Chemicals433-4L d-Limonene (Pure Grade) Cleaner...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <img class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51aFDGAU--L.jpg\" alt=\"MG Chemicals433-4L d-Limonene (Pure Grade) Cleaner...\"  \/>\n        <\/a>\n\n                    <div class=\"aawp-product__rating\">\n                <a class=\"aawp-star-rating aawp-star-rating--large aawp-star-rating--v1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/product-reviews\/B00RBO76FK?tag=printermateri-20\" title=\"Reviews on Amazon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"width: 80%;\"><\/span><\/a>\n                                    <div class=\"aawp-product__reviews\">56 Reviews<\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00RBO76FK?tag=printermateri-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1\" title=\"MG Chemicals433-4L d-Limonene (Pure Grade) Cleaner...\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            MG Chemicals433-4L d-Limonene (Pure Grade) Cleaner...        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.

That is fairly rare across most brands that offer HIPS since most brands expect customers to use HIPS as a support material only.<\/p>\n<p>Gizmo Dorks offers Blue, Red, Yellow, Black, Gray, and several other colors. This gives you a decent range of basic colors to play with in case you want to use HIPS for more than just support material.<\/p>\n<p>Gizmo Dorks also offers HIPS filament at a diameter of 2.85mm. This is again somewhat unusual for HIPS brands, since the current most popular diameter for filaments is 1.75mm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2326\" src=\"https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-811x1024.jpg\" alt=\"HIPS support material\" width=\"811\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-811x1024.jpg 811w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-768x970.jpg 768w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-1140x1439.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-1000x1263.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-645x814.jpg 645w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-560x707.jpg 560w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-750x947.jpg 750w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-400x505.jpg 400w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material-40x50.jpg 40w, https:\/\/printermaterials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HIPS-support-material.jpg 1394w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you are printing with ABS or other materials, 2.85mm can give you a better layer height and stronger layer bonding properties. So it makes sense to buy HIPS at a similar diameter so that you can extrude both materials at the same printer settings.<\/p>\n<p>Gizmo Dorks also has fantastic customer service and will replace any defective spools, no questions asked.

It works very well with a dual extruder setup for supporting ABS prints. This HIPS is also super easy to use. Very little effort is needed to calibrate of your printer settings for it. And it doesn\u2019t bind too firmly to ABS, so you can remove supports by hand.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that might dissuade you from buying this filament is that Hatchbox mostly sells .45 kg rolls of HIPS instead of the regular 1kg spools. Hopefully they change this in the future. It also only comes in one color: white. So if you are looking for other colors you will have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">MG Chemicals<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QTJ1C2Q\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00QTJ1C2Q&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=cheapabsfilamentbpr-20&amp;linkId=eb2641ddf7af70b4ff54a049ed91d6b5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00QTJ1C2Q&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=cheapabsfilamentbpr-20\" alt=\"HIPS filament\" width=\"250\" height=\"136\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span class=\"shortcode-star-rating\"><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-star-filled\"><\/span><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-star-filled\"><\/span><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-star-filled\"><\/span><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-star-filled\"><\/span><span class=\"dashicons dashicons-star-filled\"><\/span><span class=\"ssr-int\">(5\/5)<\/span><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=cheapabsfilamentbpr-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00FG7CAT6\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=cheapabsfilamentbpr-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00QTJ1C2Q\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- Buttons X - Start -->\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>\/*1867-start*\/\n#btnsx-1867{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:40px;padding-right:40px;}\n#btnsx-1867 .btnsx-text-primary{font-size:21px;line-height:21px;font-style:normal;color:#000000;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;}\n#btnsx-1867{background-color:#eded95!important;}\n#btnsx-1867:hover{background-color:#eeee22!important;}\n#btnsx-1867{border-top-width:50px;border-bottom-width:50px;border-left-width:50px;border-right-width:50px;border-style:none;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;}\n#btnsx-1867:hover{border-style:none;border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;}\n#btnsx-1867{-webkit-box-shadow:none;box-shadow:none;}\n#btnsx-1867:hover{-webkit-box-shadow:none;box-shadow:none;}\n\/*1867-end*\/\n<\/style>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2mBGdcX\" id=\"btnsx-1867\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btnsx-btn btnsx-btn-embossed\" >\n\t<span class=\"btnsx-text-primary \">Check Price<\/span><\/a>\n\n<!-- Buttons X - End -->\n<\/p>\n<p>MG Chemicals is one of the best filament companies out there.

As a result, it doesn\u2019t focus on 3D printers or 3D printer filament and has missed the mark with its HIPS filaments. While it does sell other filaments that are OK and worth checking out as well as a popular 3D printer, the Monoprice Maker Select, its HIPS is just not worth the money for several reasons.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, the price of Monoprice HIPS filament is just way too high. At this price, you would expect this HIPS to be an incredible filament in its own right, let alone as a support material.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, not only is it just a regular quality HIPS filament, its tolerance range is +\/- 0.10 mm and it struggles to work as a support materials for filaments other than ABS. Moreover, this HIPS tends to require a bit more Limonene than other HIPS brands to dissolve completely, and Limonene is not cheap. So it\u2019s best to avoid this brand if you can.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Final Thoughts: Best HIPS Filament<\/h2>\n<p>HIPS is the perfect support material for ABS and dual extruder rigs. If you have dual extrusion capabilities and are looking for a support filament that is easy to work with, comes in several colors, and won\u2019t break the bank, then HIPS might be the right choice for you.<\/p>\n<p>And while HIPS requires corrosive solvents such as d-Limonene to dissolve completely, many HIPS brand don\u2019t adhere to ABS very strongly, so supports can be removed by hand.<\/p>\n<p>The above brands offer a mix of affordability and variety, along with good customer service and ease of use. These HIPS filaments are mostly of similar quality, although there are some variations in tolerance and surface quality.
