PVA 3D printer filament in 1.75mm and 3mm offers a simple solution for removing an object’s supports. Simply submerse the printed structure in water! PVA filament is similar in color to natural toned 3D printing plastics and emits no odor. Makers, designers, and hobbyists can now remove support material without the need for tools, sanding, or grinding. Models 3D printed with 1.75mm or 3mm PVA filament supports will dissolve in water, leaving only the actual object. Our PVA is sold in .5 Kg (1.1 lbs) spools and ships same day as purchased.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) filament is a low temperature thermoplastic typically used for support structures in 3D prints. It’s also used in a number of applications such as textile manufacturing, paper production, and fishing applications. PVA is water-soluble and quite useful for 3D printing with dual extruders. When the final object is submersed in water, PVA will dissolve leaving only the primary plastic (for example, PLA).
Extrusion Temperature Range: 85 oC – 195 oC
Storage Requirements: Always keep PVA dry! Store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature. Contact with water or moisture will dissolve PVA. Use airtight storage containers, buckets, or zip lock bags to keep the material free from humidity.
Compatibility: Our 1.75mm and 3mm black Polyvinyl Alcohol 3D printing filament for sale is inspected, tested, and confirmed to work with all FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers. This includes popular brands such as Printrbot, Ultimaker, Afnia, Up!, Type A Machines, Solidoodle, Flashforge, Airwolf3D, Makergear, RepRap, and Makerbot (Replicator and Replicator 2).
3D Printing Helpful Hint: Need more air cooling as you 3D print? Consider downloading a custom air duct for your cooling fan. There are hundreds of custom designs you can choose from made by users on the web.
PVA Fact: PVA is also used in water transfer printing, otherwise known as “hydrographics”.
