Bold Red HIPS-X Filament for Supports and Functional Prints

Spectrum HIPS-X Dragon Red is a versatile filament designed for both dissolvable support applications and standalone printing. Its vivid red color makes it easy to identify during printing and post-processing, while its reliable performance ensures consistent results for complex and functional parts.

This material behaves similarly to ABS but offers improved print stability and reduced warping, making it more accessible for a wide range of users—from hobbyists to professionals working on advanced multi-material prints.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dissolvable Support Material
  Easily dissolves in d-Limonene for clean removal of supports in complex geometries
• Smooth Matte Surface Finish
  Produces clean prints that are easy to sand and post-process
• Reduced Warping Compared to ABS
  Improves print success and dimensional consistency
• Good Strength & Machinability
  Can be sanded, drilled, and finished for refined results
• High Visibility Color
  Dragon Red makes supports and printed parts easy to distinguish
• Consistent Print Performance
  Reliable extrusion and stable layer bonding

Typical Applications

• Dissolvable supports for ABS and similar materials
• Dual extrusion and multi-material 3D printing
• Engineering prototypes and functional models
• Lightweight enclosures and housings
• Sandable display models and props
• Complex prints requiring easy support removal

Material & Compatibility

Spectrum HIPS-X is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers using 1.75mm filament, especially those configured for ABS or dual extrusion workflows.

Printing characteristics and recommendations:

• Nozzle temperature: typically 220–240°C
• Heated bed recommended (90–110°C)
• Best used in enclosed or draft-controlled environments
• Ideal for dual extruder setups for dissolvable supports
• Dissolves in d-Limonene for simplified post-processing

HIPS-X pairs particularly well with ABS due to similar thermal properties, enabling consistent and reliable multi-material printing.
