ABS? PLA? Which one do you want to choose today? Don't worry, of course it's HIPS! Today, we're introducing the 3D printing material HIPS, which stands for High Impact Polystyrene. This is an acid-soluble 3D printing material, usually used as a support material for ABS. Using a dual-nozzle 3D printer, the ABS main body is printed on one side, and the HIPS support is printed on the other. Finally, the finished product is soaked in acid to dissolve the HIPS. However, today, HIPS will be the star! We will use it to print the main body of 3D models. In fact, HIPS has similar mechanical strength to ABS, but it's slightly softer, warps less, and has a milder odor when printing, making it a great alternative to ABS!
(The following samples were printed using an Ultimaker 2 3D printer!) 
First, let's take a look at how it looks right after printing! Doesn't it look incredibly smooth! 
In fact, it's not just the appearance, even the touch is very delicate! 
Although printed with an FDM machine, the deposition lines of HIPS are much finer than other materials!
Are you tempted? Come and give it a try!
