What you need

• 3D Printer
• HIPS Filament 1.75mm Violet
• Filament Gauge

Steps

1. Check the compatibility of your printer model with HIPS filament by consulting the user manual or the brand’s website.
2. Load the filament into the spool holder of the printer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Configure the print parameters based on the filament specifications (melting temperature, speed, etc.) by checking the datasheet.
4. Enter the configuration into the slicing software to prepare the G-code file.
5. Load the desired 3D model and set up the print settings such as layer thickness, infill, and overlap.
6. Start the print and observe the progress. If necessary, pause to adjust parameters or resolve any issues.
7. Once the print is complete, carefully remove the piece from the printer bed.
8. Work on the model if necessary (chamfering, rounding) using manual tools or CNC.
