Hi,

 

I am considering buying the replicator. With PVA is it possible to print support material now?

 

Best,

Zhi

Me too PVA and PLA together to over come overhang issues and have 0 warping would be the ultimate ?

I am trying my first PVA supported ABS print on the Replicator today.

So far, I can't get the PVA to stick to the HBP very well, and the nozzle keeps getting fouled as a result.

Once I figure out the correct setting for the PVA, It looks like I'll be able to do the support structure quite handily.

If anyone knows what settings to use to get the PVA to lay down like ABS of PLA, I'd love to hear about them.
