HIPS - Signal White 3D Filament
Experience an improved 3D Printer experience with the industry leading HIPS Filament from TM3D. Available in diameters 1.75mm and 2.85mm , please note this when ordering.
Features of HIPS 3D Filament
- Soluble in Limonene: One of the most distinctive properties of HIPS is that it is soluble in limonene, a solvent. This makes it an excellent support material for complex 3D prints, as the support structures can be easily solved without damaging the main object.
- High Impact Strength: As the name suggests, HIPS has high impact strength, making it a durable material for end-use applications that require a certain degree of flexibility and strength.
- Good Dimensional Stability: HIPS has good dimensional stability, meaning it is less likely to shrink or deform during the printing process. This makes it easier to produce accurate and reliable prints.
- Matte Finish: HIPS filament generally has a matte finish, making it a desirable choice for designers and engineers looking for a less glossy surface for their printed objects.
Applications of Hips 3D Filament
- Support material: Soluble in limonene for complex ABS prints.
- Prototypes: For development with high impact strength.
- Functional parts: Durable for stress-resistant components.
- Packaging: Strong for protective containers.
HIPS filament requires a heated bed and a well-ventilated area during printing, due to the fumes it can give off. It is compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question?
Which filament material should I choose for my 3D printer?
The material you choose depends on the intended use and the desired properties of the end product. Some popular filament options include PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (strong and impact resistant), PETG (durable and flexible), and TPU (flexible and elastic). Consider the desired strength, flexibility, temperature resistance and special properties when making your choice.
Which filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match the specifications of your 3D printer. The most common diameters are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Check your printer's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website to find out which diameter is suitable.
What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both commonly used filament materials, but they have different properties. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, less likely to warp and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact resistant and more resistant to higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation due to the odor released during printing.
What is the influence of filament color on the printing result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or mechanical properties of the final product, but it can affect the aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may hide them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired appearance of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To maintain the quality of your filament, it is important to store it properly. Store the filament in a dry and cool place, preferably in an airtight container or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can adversely affect print results, so protection against moisture is essential.
