Water Jet CuttersKai Parthy LAY-AWAY ETHY-LAY Support Filament - 1.75mm (0.1kg)
Kai Parthy, the creator of MOLDLAY, REFLECT-O-LAY, and LAYWOO-D3 is back with a new series of support filaments: LAY-AWAY! ETHY-LAY is unique from the other LAY-AWAY filaments in that it dissolves in alcohol, not water. This makes it ideal for prints that cannot come into contact with water. ETHY-LAY prints at a low temperature of 165 C and does not require a heated bed!

Kai Parthy, creator of MOLDLAY, LAYWOO-D3, and REFLECT-O-LAY is back with his LAY-AWAY series and four amazing new support filaments! These support materials were created as alternatives to PVA and HIPS and really open up the possibilities for your next 3D printed project!
Unlike the other LAY-AWAY filaments, ETHY-LAY dissolves in alcohol. This makes it the ideal support material for filaments that cannot come in contact with water. It also prints at a low temperature of 165 C and doesn't require a heated bed!
Questions
What does the description mean whenbit says "...ideal for parts that cannot come into contact with water."? Will this material disolve in water?
What support filaments works best with PETG?
Will this work with NylonX or Polycarbonate?
How well does Ethy-Lay stick to the bed? to PLA? (Compared to PVA, which is a little slippery)
Could Ethy-Lay be used similar to lost wax casting. Print the pattern in Ethy-Lay, encase it in plaster or some other investment material but instead of heating it to melt it out just dissolve it out with alcohol. This way you will not have the thermal expansion of the plastic pattern cracking the mold.
We have not tried this yet! However, this sounds like it may work in theory!
I am in preparing to make some lost PLA casting and would like to give Ethy-Lay a try are its print qualities as good as PLA?
Its qualities are very similar to PVA.
