Dissolvable Supports for Cleaner 3D Prints.
Today we received some sample 3D Prints from 3D Print Works using our Judge Dredd 2012 LawGiver STL files.
3D Print Works used their New VANISH Filament to create the 3D Printed supports, sliced using Simplify3D, and 3D printed on the Flash Forge Creator Pro using the dual head printing technique.
The next stage will be to dissolve the VANISH Filament away from the PLA Filament 3D printed parts simply by immersing the Prints in water for 20 minutes …
In Part.2 we will review the finished of the Underside of the Prints made using VANISH.
Previously the standard use of the same type of 3D Print material (PLA, ABS, etc) was used to support overhangs and usually resulted in a difficult removal of supports due to the same filament materials welding together (especially at finer 0.1 3d print resolutions) and rougher under-surfaces.
