Tutorial: How to Use Orange HIPS 1.75mm Filament
The high-quality HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) filament is ideal for 3D printers such as MakerBot, MultiMaker, Ultimaker, RepRap, and Prusa. This tutorial will guide you through the necessary steps to start printing with this filament.
What you need
- Compatible 3D printer
- Orange HIPS filament 1kg
- 3D printer filament feed lock or port
- Maintenance tools (brush, pliers)
- Adhesive paper or platform support
Steps
- Check the datasheet for the melting and deposition temperatures of the HIPS filament.
- Install the filament in the filament port of the printer, ensuring it is securely in place.
- Configure the deposition temperature in the printer software (check the datasheet).
- Start a test print to check adhesion and filament quality.
- If necessary, further adjust the temperatures or other settings in the printer configuration.
- Check that the support adheres to the print platform.
- Gently remove the final print from the platform once completed.
- Wash and clean the pieces before use.
