AquaSolve™ PVA
AquaSolve is a high-end cold water soluble PVA (PolyVinyl Alcohol ) type of 3D printer filament, which bonds very well to a variety of (thermo)plastics – such as PLA, PETG, ABS, and more – that print within a similar temperature range. This makes AquaSolve an excellent PVA support material for dual extrusion prints.
AquaSolve™ PVA has a limited smell during printing and is non-toxic and biodegradable once dissolved in water.
Unique features
- Excellent (cold) water solubility
- Great support material for complex dual extrusion prints!
- Good bonding to various (thermo)plastics
- Very limited smell during printing
- Biodegradable once dissolved in water
General printing guidelines *
Nozzle size: ≥ 0.15mm | Layer height: ≥ 0.1mm | Flow rate: ± 100% |
Print temp: ± 180 - 205° C * | Print speed: Medium | Retraction: Yes - 5mm |
Heat bed: ± 0 - 60° C | Fan speed: 0-25% | Experience level: Expert |
(*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
(*) Do not exceed a printing temperature of 225??à_C, because then PVA crystallizes quickly and it will no longer flow and/or dissolve in water. Printing with PVA materials does require a certain level of 3D printing expertise as PVA cannot stay too long in the hot secondary/support nozzle and needs to flow and by that needs expert tweaking to find the optimal “waiting temperature” for the material not to deteriorate/crystalizing in the hot secondary/support nozzle when not being printed.
