PrimaSELECT™HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a filament usually associated with ABS in the role of support material as it dissolves in D’limonene. HIPS is a very good filament on its own and you can make stunning prints with a beautiful matt surface finish. PrimaSELECT™HIPS has much more to offer as a truly high quality print material and not just as a support material. High Impact Polystyrene, as the name suggests, is a sturdy and reliable filament that is widely used among hobby enthusiasts to create models of different sizes. It has limited warping, almost no shrinkage and are very easy to glue together with other parts. You can use ordinary super glue and it´s also perfect if you want to sand and paint your model.
