Everything you need to know about the HIPS
filament
High Impact Polystyrene or the HIPS is a fairly
common filament used by most when talking about
the 3D printing requisites. This material is
generally comprised of a proper blend of rubber
and polystyrene. Most people who tend to produce
a complex model dont want to keep its support
material generally pick the HIPS filament. This
is because the HIPS filament is dissolvable.
The HIPS can be dissolved only if it is
comprised of the limonene solution. This
particular solution is created from lemon peels,
which can be acquired very easily. This is what
aids in the dissolving property of HIPS filament.
The only issue with this filament is the fact
that it cannot be used as a supporting material
if the 3D printing is being done with the ABS
filament. This is due to the fact that limonene
can damage ABS.

• Even though ABS filament enjoys a certain level
  of popularity, what most people do not know is
  the fact that HIPS is way stronger as compared to
  the ABS filament. HIPS allows you to paint with
  it, it is extremely strong, very machinable, and
  even works perfectly with a good amount of
  certain adhesives.

• The HIPS filament can normally be printed by
  using a nozzle with temperatures that fall
  between 220 degrees Celsius and 240 degrees
  Celsius. However, when using HIPS filament, you
  should have bed temperature set between 90
  degrees Celsius and 110 degrees Celsius.
