Hi,

I have seen that many people are using HIPS instead of ABS sometimes...wait...HIPS?? I think its "just" support material?? What do you think about that? I dont have HIPS so i cant judge about this, but using it instead of ABS/PLA? hmm..

Thank you smiling smiley

Actually hips has similar properties as abs. The impact strength is lower than ABS. If you don't have special request for part, HIPS could replace ABS in some time.
