Versatile HIPS Filament for Functional Printing and Dissolvable Supports
White 1.75mm HIPS Filament 1kg is a reliable engineering-grade 3D printing material designed for makers, educators, engineers, and professionals who need lightweight durable parts and dissolvable support structures for ABS workflows. HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is widely used in FDM 3D printing because of its balanced strength, low weight, easy post-processing, and compatibility with dual extrusion support printing.
HIPS is especially valued as a dissolvable support material for ABS because it can be removed using limonene, making it ideal for complex models, intricate geometries, and hard-to-reach support areas. It also performs exceptionally well as a standalone filament for prototypes, cosplay props, enclosures, display models, and functional concept parts.
The clean white finish provides a professional appearance that works well for painted projects, presentation models, and production-style prototypes.

Ideal for Prototyping and Support Printing
HIPS is commonly used in both technical and creative printing applications due to its versatility and ease of finishing. Its dissolvable support capability makes it especially useful for advanced ABS printing workflows.
Common HIPS applications include:
- Dissolvable support structures for ABS
- Engineering and design prototypes
- Architectural models
- Cosplay props and costume parts
- Lightweight enclosures
- Industrial concept models
- Educational fabrication projects
- RC and robotics components
- Sanded and painted display pieces
- Functional workshop parts
The white finish is particularly useful for painted projects, product mockups, and applications where a neutral base color is preferred.
Smooth Printing and Easy Post-Processing
HIPS is known for its user-friendly finishing characteristics and clean matte surface appearance. It sands easily, accepts paint well, and can be machined or modified after printing, making it a favorite among makers focused on surface refinement and post-processing.
For best printing performance:
- Use a heated bed to improve adhesion
- Print in an enclosed or draft-free environment when possible
- Ensure proper ventilation during printing
- Store filament in a dry environment
- Pair with ABS for dissolvable support applications
HIPS generally produces low-gloss prints with smooth surfaces suitable for sanding, priming, and painting workflows.
