Spectrum AquaPrint 1.75mm natural 0.5kg
Excellent solubility in cold water
AquaPrint is a water-soluble support material designed for complex multi-extrusion 3D printing. AquaPrint boasts nearly four times the flow rate of PVA-based support filaments and dissolves in water in half the time. However, AquaPrint's distinguishing feature is its exceptional adhesion to various materials such as PLA, PETG, PA, and TPU, offering twice the bonding strength compared to PVA.
AquaPrint demonstrates excellent cold water solubility and outstanding thermal stability. It can be printed at lower temperatures, making it an ideal support material and ensuring excellent adhesion.
AquaPrint stands out due to its greater structural rigidity compared to other support filaments, particularly PVA. This characteristic significantly improves material transfer from the extruder to the Hot End, especially in Bowden extrusion systems. This robust structural integrity also allows for the creation of solid supports, resulting in a superior final surface finish for your 3D printed parts.
Users with dual-extruder 3D printers can seamlessly combine AquaPrint with various materials, thanks to its simple print setup. Once printing is complete, AquaPrint's biodegradability allows for responsible disposal via normal wastewater drainage (according to local regulations).
The use of AquaPrint as a water-soluble support material enables the 3D printing of complex structures, including those with moving parts, all in one piece and with exceptional quality.
Key Features:
• Excellent cold water solubility
• Biodegradable, allowing for responsible disposal through normal wastewater drains
• Great structural rigidity
• Nearly 4 times higher flow rate than PVA-based support filaments
• Exceptional thermal stability, minimizing the likelihood of crystallization within the nozzle
• Perfect adhesion to various materials (PLA, PETG, PA, TPU)
Applications:
• Complex geometries requiring support material
Packaging
The filament is wound on a neat and transparent spool. Each spool contains information about the material type, diameter, and recommended printing temperature. The filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. The entire product is packaged in the original film-coated Spectrum Filaments packaging.
