Deep Black HIPS-X for Clean Supports and Functional Prints

Spectrum HIPS-X Deep Black is a reliable filament designed for dissolvable support structures and standalone applications. Its deep black color provides a clean, professional look while offering excellent visibility when paired with lighter materials in dual-extrusion printing.

This material prints similarly to ABS but with improved stability and reduced warping, making it a practical choice for users working on complex geometries or precision prototypes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dissolvable Support Material
  Easily dissolves in d-Limonene, simplifying support removal for complex prints
• Smooth Matte Finish
  Produces clean, low-gloss surfaces ideal for post-processing
• Reduced Warping vs ABS
  Enhances dimensional accuracy and improves print success rates
• Good Strength & Post-Processing
  Easy to sand, cut, and refine for professional results
• High Contrast Color
  Deep black offers excellent contrast when used as a support material
• Consistent Print Quality
  Reliable extrusion and strong layer adhesion

Typical Applications

• Dissolvable supports for ABS and similar materials
• Dual extrusion and multi-material 3D printing
• Functional prototypes and engineering models
• Lightweight enclosures and housings
• Sandable display models and props
• Complex parts requiring clean internal support removal

Material & Compatibility

Spectrum HIPS-X is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers that use 1.75mm filament, especially those capable of ABS-level temperatures and dual extrusion.

Printing characteristics and recommendations:

• Nozzle temperature: typically 220–240°C
• Heated bed recommended (90–110°C)
• Best used in enclosed or draft-free environments
• Ideal for dual extruder setups
• Dissolves in d-Limonene for efficient post-processing

HIPS-X pairs well with ABS due to similar thermal properties, making it a dependable choice for multi-material workflows.
