UltiMaker UltiMaker Breakaway Support Material - 2.85mm (0.75kg)

No.

It isnt compatible with ABS or ASA either. Get ready to chissel or grind of off. It sticks to glass ASA juice horrible and is just a terrible product. I give it 0 stars (Amazon 1 star) don't waste your money.

I agree, I used it with nylon x twice and it became one with the print. Impossible to get off. Since I wasted so much money on it I'll have to try a farther distance from interface to part and pray to god.

I find that using really hot water(120F) helps soften the breakaway much easier. I didn't believe how easy it would come off with hot water untilI tried for myself. Now I use this break away material rather than the PVA.

more info about the question above, the printing material is PLA.

Hi Julie, this support material is not dissolvable. You will need to use pliers and/or a craft knife to remove the support material from your finished model.

Start with fan speed (higher = less stringing and less interlayer adhesion and lower = vise versa) then try small adjustments to retraction distance (careful because too much can cause jams) then finally try dropping the printing temp of the support filament because stringing is usually caused from filament that's too hot. hope this helps.

@pion You can leave it on your printer without serious degradation. However, best practice is to dry the filament overnight before each use.

Use the CPE (co-polyester) setting. PETG is in the class of co-polyesters and its what Ultimaker refers to them as.

Agreed, my US3 prints gizmo dorks PETG like pla when I use stock cpe settings, excellent quality and bed adhesion.

Hi @Mark evans!

At this time, we are not aware of a profile for this material on the Taz.

Also one thing you can do is choose a dedicated nozzle for support infill so you use the master filament for a majority of the support (besides initial layer and interface) and it will cost less, I do that with PVA

You are manually able to set the infill density of your support material. This will ensure you are not using more support material than needed.

Non only is the material expensive it is extremely poor to print with. You are basicaly throwing away $69. PVA is much much better. You can't use PVA with ABS. This is supposed to work, but you have to chissel and grind it off you are much better using the ABS or ASA for support material for itself. This material also cloggs the nozzles. It does not have 1 redemming quality.

I strongly agree with Guest (November 3th, 2020) I even wasted an additional $125 on a dedicated AA core to use it with, My first try with Nylon X all stock settings, I just printed a pair of 1" nylon washers up on about 4mm supports for my fridge and I'm about 1 hour in and I only have one washer partially cleaned off, next step is to resort to a fine sandpaper which I didn't want to have to do with this filament.

Answering my own question...UM website says for AA cores, .4mm nozzles only. I wish there was a PVA/BB-core support material I knew of that doesn't suck.

badscooter, you might try Airwolf Hydrofill, it sticks to many materials (including ABS and polycarbonate, which most materials don't stick to) and it almost never crosslinks/degrades in the extruder. Unfortunately, it doesn't really dissolve, just gets pasty, but you can pressure wash it out.
