FAQ Category: Soluble Support Material | VXL Filaments

Which temperature should I use for dissolving VXL?

Generally, the temperature to dissolve VXL should always be the highest that your model material can take without getting soft. We have made several different types of VXL to make sure you always get the best performance out of your prints and dissolving processes. You can check this FAQ for further details.

What do I need to consider, when printing VXL support material to make parts, e.g. for lost molds?

You need to consider the same as for model materials with different temperature settings. Printing VXL 111 in an open printer will lead to the same difficulties as printing real ABS in an open printer. Due to the high glass transition temperature, the model will build up residual stresses which might lead to warping or …

Why do different VXL support materials work for the same model materials?

We design and polymerize all our materials in our own chemical plant. All VXL support materials are completely different polymers, but some of the used monomers are identical. Due to that, there is a similarity between the different polymers which makes all of the VXL support materials work with almost the same model materials.

Can I print VXL on any 3D printer?

Yes, you can print VXL support materials on any 3D printer with two extruders. Depending on the printer, different VXL materials will work better.
