Z3D® HIPS Filament – lightweight, precise & ideal as support material
Z3D HIPS Filament is a high-quality 3D printing filament known for its
low weight, dimensional accuracy, and excellent solubility in D-Limonene.
It is perfect as support material for complex models (e.g., ABS, ASA), but can also be used as a standalone material for lightweight, impact-resistant parts.
Produced in premium quality, neatly wound and vacuum-sealed with a drying element – ensuring clean print results and optimal storage.

- Stable, consistent color quality
- Premium quality – tested & inspected
- Compatible with all common 3D printers (Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Bambu Lab, etc.)
Recommended Print Settings
- Nozzle temperature: 220 – 250 °C
- Heated bed: 90 – 110 °C
- Fan: 0 – 30% (keep low for better layer adhesion)
- Enclosure: recommended (reduces warping)
Typical Applications
- Support material for ABS, ASA, and other high-temperature filaments
- Functional and replacement parts requiring high impact strength
- Modding, RC, and DIY projects
- Lightweight housings, covers, and mechanical components
- Prototyping thanks to easy post-processing and matte finish
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is HIPS heat-resistant? HIPS withstands temperatures of approx. 80–90 °C, making it suitable for many functional applications.
Do I need an enclosed build chamber? Yes, an enclosed chamber reduces warping and improves print quality.
Can HIPS be smoothed? es, HIPS is soluble in D-Limonene – ideal for smoothing or for dissolving support material.
