Review on LulzBot Polydissolve Polymaker Diameter White by Alejandro Labustin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easily soluble in water. but a little tricky to print

Great for parts that require internal support (support that is difficult or impossible to separate). PVA is a bit difficult to print. This is a soft thread (snags easily). It is viscous and seems to require a longer absorption time. When the dual-head printer switches between "print" filament and "support" filament, that material needs to be threaded in order for it to flow properly again (use a flush tower and to be honest I increase the flush volume). . It takes a bit of effort to make it work well. So I mostly leave it for parts that need support that would be difficult to remove. Soak the part in warm water for a few hours and. it dissolves completely leaving a clean portion.

Pros
  • Designed for reliable 3D printing
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
