Description
Dedicated easy break away support material for PLA, PVB & TPU filaments.
PolySupport™ is a break away support for a variety of Polymaker filaments. It has a perfect interface with PLA, strong enough to support it and easily removable by hand.
Features
-
Peel Away - PolySupport™ is a dedicated support material engineered to break away easily by hand without the risk of damaging the part. PolySupport™ offers the quickest part clean-up of any support material. Its advantage over dissolvable support is that its faster to remove and requires no tools or equipment. For geometric overhangs such as boxes, architectural models or brackets, PolySupport™ will offer a better experience than dissolvable support.
-
Wide Material Support - PolySupport™ has been engineered to have excellent compatibility with PLA and depending on the part geometry it can be an ideal support material for PVB and TPU based filaments from Polymakers portfolio.
-
Low Moisture Sensitivity - PolySupport™ is less sensitive to moisture compared to other support materials like PVA and requires no solvents so you can immediately peel supports away without waiting for them to dissolve.
-
Improved surface quality - Improve the surface quality where supports interface with your prints when using PolySupport™.
-
Uncompromised Quality - Polymakers leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing ensure reliable printing and consistency across spools and batches
The experience when removing supports can vary but with many designs and geometry it can be really difficult and time consuming to remove supports, sometimes requiring special tools to break supports away from the model. In many cases prints can fail due to support related issues.
Specifically engineered as a break away support material, PolySupport™ can be peeled away from 3D prints by hand, a huge bonus in educational environments and for businesses that don't have time to wait or equipment for supports to dissolve. Not only can supports be readily removed by hand but with PolySupport™ the bond between the supports and model is still strong enough to support overhangs while printing. It’s advantage over dissolvable support is that its faster to remove and requires no tools or equipment. For geometric overhangs such as boxes, architectural models or brackets, PolySupport™ will offer a better experience than dissolvable support.
When printing with PolySupport™ is is possible to print overhangs with comparable quality to what can be achieved with dissolvable supports. By printing with a high quality dual extrusion printer, suitable interface layer and no vertical offset between the model and supports, the PLA overhang will print directly onto the PolySupport™ interface layer, resulting in a very smooth underside surface. The break-away engineering behind PolySupport™ enables excellent adhesion between to the PLA model without over-adhesion. The result? Excellent underside surface quality and supports pillars which can still be easily removed by hand.
Blue part on the left: printed with a single extruder machine printing both supports and model in PLA (0.2mm z offset between support and model). Horizontal overhang displays visible scarring after supports are removed.
Red part on the right: printed on an Ultimaker S3 series 3D printer with PLA model and PolySupport supports (0mm z offset, zig zag supports and 1mm interface layers). No visible scarring on horizontal overhang, support removed cleanly.
Many users love PolySupport™ because it is also less sensitive to moisture when compared to soluble support filaments. This makes handling and storing PolySupport™ simple, just store the filament in the provided resealable bag when storing during long periods of time.
