Fiberlogy HIPS Filament White 1.75 mm 0.85 kg

Fiberlogy HIPS White Filament – 1.75 mm, 0.85 kg

Overview

Fiberlogy HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) White is a technical 3D printing filament mainly used as a support material for ABS in dual-extrusion printing systems. It is also suitable for standalone prints where low weight, rigidity, and post-processing capability are important.

Material Characteristics

HIPS is a thermoplastic similar to ABS but lighter and easier to machine. Its biggest advantage is solubility in limonene, which allows supports to be dissolved instead of mechanically removed. This makes it extremely valuable for complex geometries and internal structures.

Mechanical Properties

• Good impact resistance
• Moderate stiffness
• Low density (lightweight parts)
• Easy sanding and post-processing

Printing Behavior

HIPS behaves similarly to ABS and requires stable thermal conditions. Without an enclosure, warping may occur. It adheres best on heated beds and benefits from a controlled environment.

• Nozzle temperature: 230–260°C
• Bed temperature: 90–110°C
• Enclosure: strongly recommended
• Cooling: low or off

Advantages

• Dissolvable support material (with limonene)
• Clean surface finish after processing
• Good mechanical strength for prototypes

Applications

• Support structures for ABS prints
• Complex engineering models
• Lightweight mechanical housings
• Prototyping with internal cavities

Summary

Fiberlogy HIPS White is essential for multi-material 3D printing workflows where support removal must be clean and precise, especially in industrial prototyping.
