HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a synthetic copolymer that is strong, durable, non-toxic and recyclable. It has similar properties to ABS, but is harder and more impact resistant. In addition, HIPS is soluble in Limonene, which means that HIPS can be used as a support material in FDM 3D printing.
Features
- Strong and durable printing material with good impact resistance
- Dissolve in limonene, best for support material 3D Printing
- As a kind of supporting material, it is compatible with ABS and other consumables (NOT sensitive to the chemical limonic acid) to print complex structure model.

Best printing practices
When 3D printing, always work in a well ventilated workspace.
In 3D printing, HIPS makes an excellent soluble support material.
HIPS can be dissolved in a specific solvent, such as limonene, without damaging the main printed object. This property makes it perfect for complex designs and intricate structures. It is typically used in the area of ABS printing as support structure, and the temporary stability of the HIPS form plays a central role here. HIPS and ABS share nearly identical printing temperatures. This means they will lie together cleanly without any warping or deformation due to heat.
If you use HIPS as a support structure, you should have a 3D printer with two extruders, which can reach a temperature between 230 and 245 degrees. In addition, you should have a heating bed that can reach temperatures between 90 and 110 degrees because HIPS tends to deform. It is also recommended to use a 3D printer with a lockable installation space to counteract deformation.
After the printing process, you should wait until the printed part has cooled down completely before starting to remove the supporting structures. Unlike PVA support structures, HIPS needs to be removed with chemicals. Therefore, you should only use it as a support structure for materials such as ABS, because certain other materials can be sensitive to the chemical limonic acid, and as a result, the component might be damaged. Before removing support structures with chemicals, it is recommended to first remove large parts by hand for cost reasons. When dealing with liquids of this type, you should protect your eyes, respiratory tract and hands to avoid irritation.
HIPS also makes an excellent printing material in its own right. When comparing HIPS vs ABS, you’ll notice it’s harder and stronger than either PLA or ABS, but is just as easy to use. It won’t warp as easily as ABS.
HIPS is widely used to manufacture toys and appliances. It is also used for product packaging and cases.
Proper filament storage is key. Make sure the spool is kept in an airtight container when not printing, and preferably store it with desiccant material, too.
