Bright HIPS-X Filament for Supports and Lightweight Prints

Spectrum HIPS-X Bahama Yellow is a versatile filament designed for both standalone printing and dissolvable support applications. With its bright yellow color and easy post-processing characteristics, it’s ideal for users creating complex models or lightweight functional parts.

HIPS-X prints similarly to ABS but with improved stability and reduced warping, making it more accessible for a wider range of users. Whether you're producing detailed prototypes or support structures for multi-material prints, this filament delivers consistent and predictable results.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dissolvable Support Capability
  Easily dissolves in d-Limonene for clean removal of supports in complex prints
• Smooth Matte Surface Finish
  Produces clean, professional-looking parts that are easy to sand and finish
• Lower Warping Than ABS
  Improves dimensional stability and reduces print failures
• Good Strength & Machinability
  Easy to sand, cut, and post-process for refined results
• Lightweight Material
  Ideal for models, prototypes, and parts where reduced weight is beneficial
• Reliable Print Performance
  Consistent extrusion and dependable layer adhesion

Typical Applications

• Dissolvable supports for ABS and similar materials
• Dual extrusion and multi-material printing
• Architectural and display models
• Lightweight enclosures and housings
• Sandable prototypes and visual models
• Creative projects requiring easy finishing

Material & Compatibility

Spectrum HIPS-X is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75mm filament, particularly machines capable of printing ABS or running dual extruders.

Printing characteristics and recommendations:

• Nozzle temperature: typically 220–240°C
• Heated bed recommended (90–110°C)
• Best used in enclosed or draft-free environments
• Compatible with dual extrusion setups for dissolvable supports
• Dissolves in d-Limonene for easy post-processing

HIPS-X pairs especially well with ABS due to similar thermal properties, making it an excellent support material for complex prints.
