Support materials are used to print only the support structure of a 3d print, while using the main material only for the part.
This enables the part to have a smooth finish, unlike the rough edges that are usually left behind if you print supports with the same material as the part.
Not all support materials are compatible with all filaments, so we sell a range of support materials that are suitable for a range of materials.
Creatbot S-Multi is the best general purpose engineering grade support material that works with materials beyond PLA.
Creatbot S-PAHT is the best choice for printing supports with high temps Nylons & Carbon Fiber reinforced Nylon filaments.
PVA filament is used as a Water Soluble support material, where supports dissolve in water. But this works best with PLA based filaments.
You can also use them with PETg & TPU with varying results.
Support materials are best used with Dual Extruder & Multi material 3D Printing systems, including AMS.
Using dual extruders & Support materials is an inherently complicated print setup. Its very common, but some amount of experimentation is often required to get you the results you need in your specific application.
