Verbatim BVOH Filament 3mm 500g Reel, Natural

Works very well with Prusa MK2S Multi Material.Pros- Easy to use, didn't have to tinker with temps at all, prints fine at 200c with my Hatchbox PLA- Melts off in water, sometimes It doesn't even need water to peel off- Prints turn out so much better with soluble supports, no more sanding- Comes in a resealable bag, nice little gesture and 100% needed for storing when not in useCons- Expensive, use sparingly-

It does not melt off in water like magic. It does come off with good amounts of soaking+ water pressure from sink faucet. I went back to using standard filament for supports on most stuff. It is good, but not great for the $$ spent.

Unreliable in the Prusa MK2 MM. I burned through 1/2 the spool against several different PLA filaments at differing temps for the BVOH.If it's not scorched against the hotend, it's jamming the multiplexer. I fouled 2 nozzles trying to get it to work, this stuff is clog-tastic. It's almost a wax in it's extruded consistency, which doesn't seem to do well in moving parts. Perhaps with a Mosaic Palette+ it would fair better.I'm going to pass on this one in the future, maybe try my hand against a few of the PVAs out there. I'm convinced this isn't the right material for a 4-on-one extruder setup.As a baseline, I have printed quite a few multicolor PLA prints to isolate the issue down to the filament. As soon as I add BVOH to the mix, I can't trust the machine to turn my back on it for even an hour.

Attention Mosaic Palette+ owners! This BVOH does not work with the palette. The filament is far too brittle and does not adhere to PLA. Also, BVOH is not officially supported by Mosaic. Too bad. Will be returning this.

I use PEI to print on and everything sticks to it well but this stuff. If you really squish it into it it will stick pretty good.Once I got past that issue I tried to use it as the bottom and top interface layers of the supports on my prints. No matter what I did I had a very hard time getting this material to stick to the high quality ABS I am using. It's also hard to get the ABS to stick to the top of this material. The only way I found to make it happen was slow the print WAAAY down, to where it takes forever for a small part to print. I was using PLA in place of this BVOH before and it works great in all aspects except for the fact that it likes to constantly drip and mess up the outside of your prints. That's really the only reason I bought the BVOH to use. That and the fact that it would make it easier to remove the supports after a water bath. But I have adjusted all kinds of settings in my simplify 3D software and I can't find anything that makes it better. Even changing the temperature doesn't get the results I want. I spent 3 days tinkering with the settings and have finally given up on this stuff. Seems like it's working great for some people out there, but I can't make it happen and I have my printer dialed in perfectly for the other materials I'm running.

This filament will not work with ABS. If this filament mixes at all with ABS, it will make the print very brittle and break easily. I'm using a Prusa i3 Mk2 with the Multi-Material upgrade that has 1 extruder head. In order to use the two different filaments, the extruder has to purge one material completely before switching to the next material. since this is done on EVERY layer, you use 3 or 4 times the material to make a print. This material is very expensive to be using up like that.

Nach unzähligen frustrierenden (Fehl-)Versuchen lösliche Stützstrukturen mit PVA zu Drucken habe ich mich mich doch dazu entschlossen eine Rolle BVOH zu kaufen und ich habe es nicht bereut!Mit PVA hatte ich Probleme mit dem Verstopfen der Düse bei längerer Standby-Zeit des PVA Extruders, schlechter Haftung auf dem Druckbett, schlechter Haftung auf PLA und sogar schlechter Haftung mit sich selbst!All diese Probleme sind mit diesem Filament gelöst. Die Haftung auf PLA ist noch ausreichend gut das man auch Stützstrukturen auf bereits gedruckten (PLA) Teilen aufbringen kann. Auf meinem magnetischen Druckbett welches mit Magigoo bestrichen ist haftet es bombenfest, kein Brim notwendig!Klar ist es doppelt so teuer wie PVA aber wenn jeder Druck beim ersten Versuch gelingt ist es unterm Strich günstiger als 5 fehlgeschlagene Versuche mit PVA. Außerdem kann man durch die gute Haftung auf PLA auch Stützstrukturen verwenden bei der nur die Oberfläche die mit dem Teil in Kontakt kommt aus BVOH besteht und der Rest aus günstigerem PLA.

The media could not be loaded.  Best filament I ever used. Simply after testing almost all the brand on the market I will never change
