Review on ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ HIPS Polystyrene by MG Chemicals - HIP17WH1 by Robert Xayamonty

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too fragile - so useless

The filament arrived well packaged and with desiccant. I printed a direct HIPS print and it was sloppy and the filament broke mid-print. I threw the filament in the dryer, after 12 hours I felt it and thought everything was fine, put it in the dryer and started printing again. As soon as the thread approached room temperature, it began to break. Now it went through a second treatment at an even higher temperature, I heated the printer case to 40ยฐC, started another print and it broke after 10 minutes. Begin 3rd treatment at 240ยฐF for 4 hours. Once it cooled, it became brittle. A 90 degree bend is guaranteed to snap the thread. Unfortunately unusable and ends up in the garbage.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • I don't remember
