Product Description

PVA Filament-Water Soluble Support 3D Printer Filament

The video showcases the product in use.The video guides you through product setup.The video compares multiple products.The video shows the product being unpacked.

PVA filament needed to 3D print complex models and water-soluble support is easier to remove than regular support filament. If you have a printer with two extruders, you can load one extruder with PLA for printing models and another with PVA for printing support structures.

You need PVA to print difficult overhangs and bridges in your model.After printing, the model is immersed in 55-65℃ warm water for softening, and after layering, the PVA support structure is peeled off by hand and washed off. It reduces the risk of model damage and makes post-processing easier.

Instructions for use

Ideal for Supporting Complex Structural Models

1.The recommended printing temperature is 200°C; Bed temperature: 60°C;Due to the characteristics of the filament itself, if the setting temperature exceeds the recommended range of 200°C, it is easy to cause plugging.

2.Fan speed: 100%; Print speed: 20–40mm/s (recommended 30mm/s);

3. It is recommended to use about 55°C – 65°C warm water to loosen the PVA supports faster. The higher the temperature, the faster the PVA dissolves and falls.

Good choice for support filament

Not Dissolved in water, But softened and layered.

1.Thanks to its softening in water, it makes possible to print complex models and mobile constructions that no longer need to be assembled from individual parts.

2.After the PVA layeres and softens, it is very easy to peel off the model by hand.

Remove the support more easily

Attention Please

This filament is optimized PVA, which avoids the problems of easy breakage, severe moisture, and difficult storage caused by PVA being too soluble in water. Therefore, this PVA filament is insoluble in water at room temperature, but it will soften at a water temperature of 55-65°C to achieve the purpose of easily removing the support. If your main purpose is to remove the support more easily and you don’t care whether the PVA completely melts in the water, then this PVA is a better choice.

Designed for dual extrusion 3D printers Used to print support structures

Why is the support material needed in 3D printing?

The support structure is a necessary auxiliary filament in 3D printing. You need them to print difficult overhangs and bridges in your model.

How to print water-soluble PVA filament along with other filaments?

If you have a printer with two extruders, you can load one extruder with PLA to print the model and the other with a water-soluble material such as PVA or limonene-soluble material to print the support structure.

What are the pressure parameter settings of PVA filament water soluble?

Printing temperature: 190-200°C (recommended temperature 200°C)

Bed temperature: 55-65°C

Fan speed: 100%

Print speed: 20–40mm/s (recommended 30mm/s);

Recommended Heated Build Platform: Structured Paper, PEI

Can the model printed with this water-soluble PVA filament be completely dissolvedin water?

The support of the model can be softened at about 60° C and physically peeled off to remove the support. Please note that it has not completely dissolved in water.

What filament can be printed along with PVA filament?

PVA water-soluble filament can be printed along with most filament on the market, such as PLA, PETG, TPU, etc.

【Attention Please】This PVA filament is insoluble in water at room temperature, but it will soften at a water temperature of 55-60°C to achieve the purpose of easily removing the support. If you want PVA filament that is completely soluble in water, please do not buy this product. If your main purpose is to remove the support more easily and you don’t care whether the PVA completely melts in the water, then this PVA is a better choice.
【Water Soluble PVA】Water-soluble Polymer. Not completely dissolved, but softening and layering,then peel off with your hands. It will not Damage Printed Surface. Good Bonding to Various Material Such as PLA. Environmental-friendly and Non-toxic. Ideal for Complex Prints!
【HIGH PERFORMANCE】 With even tight winding, clog-free and bubble-free, always maintain a smooth feeding during printing, effectively reduce unexpected printing interruptions. Enjoy design and bring to life your inventions. TRONXY PVA filament is highly absorbent, so please pack it as soon as possible after printing to minimize exposure to air. Otherwise, the filament will be very brittle and affect the next use.
【TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS】 1.75mm Filament Diameter,dimensional accuracy + / – 0.02 mm; Spool center hole diameter 50mm;0.5 kg spool (1.1lbs). Recommended extrusion/nozzle temperature 190°C – 200°C, bed 55-65℃. Works perfectly with all common 1.75mm FDM 3D printers.The printing speed should not exceed 30mm/s to avoid plugging problems.
【Support Material】Thanks to its solubility in water, makes it possible to print complex models and mobile constructions that no longer need to be assembled from individual parts. Simply wash away the support structure by immersing the model in water.
【VACUUM SEALED】Our printer filament came in a sealed vacuum bag and a desiccant to remove any moisture inside the bag so it stayed dry (wet filament don’t print well). And please keep it dry and dust-free after after opening the sealed package to prevent it becomes brittle or jams the nozzle.
