Is it possible to print HIPS which is dissolvable in limonene? I’d like to print my support structures with that material.
Hi i tried to Print hips.
and to be honest it stayed at trying and a lot of frustration.
the Vertex extrudes the hips completly fine and everything looks good but even when printing with a raft it wouldnt stick to the buildtak.
I also tryed with kepton and/or hairspray but both didnt improve the results, quite the oposite buildtak worked better then kapton band.
After trying and trying the better part of a day… im frustrated again and switched to printing with 2 pla colors. I think the problem is that there is no
heated bed on the vertex.
With a heated bed and then ontop the buildtak it should/might print fine.
for now im done with hips, its really a shame but i wont waste another evening trying to get it to work.
If anyone has got it to work with 2 printheads (1pla/1hips) without a heated bed i would be more then interrested to hear the results 
the trick to get hips working is to either print with a large PLA brim or with a PLA raft. This way the HIPS sticks to the PLA instead of the buildplatform.
Thanks, maybe i will try that out tommorow but for now i had enough frustration 
Also im thinking about adding the mk3 heatbed, i bet then i would have no problem printing HIPS on the buildtak with the heatbed under it or would i ?
