Reliable HIPS-X Filament for Support and Functional Printing

Spectrum HIPS-X Gypsum White is a high-quality filament designed for both standalone printing and as a dissolvable support material in dual-extrusion workflows. Known for its ease of printing and clean surface finish, HIPS-X is a practical choice for makers and professionals working with complex geometries.

This material prints similarly to ABS but with improved stability and reduced warping, making it easier to handle while still offering solid mechanical properties.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dissolvable Support Material
  Easily dissolves in d-Limonene, making it ideal for complex prints with internal structures
• Smooth, Matte Surface Finish
  Produces clean, professional-looking parts with minimal post-processing
• Low Warping Compared to ABS
  Improves print success rates and dimensional stability
• Good Strength & Machinability
  Can be sanded, drilled, and post-processed easily
• Lightweight Material
  Suitable for models and parts where weight reduction is beneficial
• Consistent Extrusion Performance
  Reliable filament diameter for smooth and predictable printing

Typical Applications

• Dissolvable support structures for ABS prints
• Complex multi-material 3D printing
• Architectural models and prototypes
• Lightweight enclosures and housings
• Sandable display models and props
• Engineering prototypes requiring post-processing

Material & Compatibility

Spectrum HIPS-X is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75mm filament, particularly those configured for ABS or multi-material printing.

Printing characteristics and considerations:

• Typical nozzle temperature: 220–240°C
• Heated bed recommended (90–110°C)
• Works best in enclosed or draft-free environments
• Compatible with dual-extrusion setups for soluble supports
• Dissolves in d-Limonene for easy support removal

HIPS-X pairs especially well with ABS, offering similar thermal properties for consistent dual-material printing.

Why Users Choose Spectrum HIPS-X
