M3-ID for soluble support materials?
Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2022 3:58 pm
Greetings,
I've got an ancient M2, and I'm giving some thought to upgrading to a IDEX printer to be able to print soluble support material. I might print multiple colors once just to say I did it, but 95% of my interest in an IDEX machine would be for soluble support. There are very few posts about PVA/BVOH here, and the latest one was 2019 it seems. Those were primarily from people having problems as you'd expect for a forum post.
Can you actually print soluble support material reliable with an M3-ID (PETG as the main material), or is this one of those ideas that sounds good but doesn't really work out that well?
Thanks,
Rusty
