Product Description: PVA is commonly known for its ability to be dissolved in water and is often used as a support material for complex prints. PVA, or Polyvinyl Alcohol, is a soft and biodegradable polymer that is highly sensitive to moisture. When exposed to water, PVA will actually dissolve, which makes it a very useful support structure material for 3D printing. When printing extremely complex shapes or ones with partially enclosed cavities, PVA supports can be used and easily removed by dissolving in warm water. Standard supports may have been difficult to print or remove in these situations. PVA can also be used as a model material if there is a need to make quick prototypes.

Useful Printing Tips:

1. In multi-extruder setups, cooling down the PVA hotend during idle times can prevent oozing and clogging.

2. Set the support upper separation distance to zero layers for a better surface finish. The PVA will be dissolved away, so it doesn’t matter if it bonds to the part while printing. This same technique can be used for your PVA rafts.

3. Printing and Bed Temperature: Recommend to use 185-200C printing temperature and 45-60C hot bed temperature.
