Before packaging, PolyDissolve™ S1 is dried to ensure the best printing quality and filaments are vacuum sealed to protect the filament from moisture. When not in use PolyDissolve™ S1 should be stored away from sunlight in the packaged resealable bag.
If you hear popping sounds and notice that the surface quality of your print is uneven or the color is not consistent, this is a likely indicator that the filament has absorbed too much moisture. Spools of PolyDissolve™ S1 can be dried in a preheated convection oven at 80˚C for up to 12 hours. Results may vary depending on the accuracy of your oven so please be conservative. For more information about filament drying please read our user guide.

Compatibility
PolyDissolve™ S1 has been engineered with compatibility in mind to interface perfectly with Polymaker PLA, PVB, TPU and Nylon filaments and to print excellently on a wide range of professional 3D printers.
To print multi-material soluble supports, a dual extrusion 3D printer capable of printing both the modeling and support material at different temperatures is required. (i.e left nozzle at 200˚C and right nozzle at 215˚C).
Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer.
FAQ
Q: How do I dissolve my supports?
A: PolyDissolve™ S1 can be dissolved in regular tap water. The dissolving time will depend on many factors including the volume of support material. Partially removing any large support structures before submersion can significantly increase speed up the process for large models. Submerge the remaining model in regular tap water to dissolve away the rest of the support. This process can be speed up by agitating the water, using warm water (>50˚C) or regularly changing the water to reduce the concentration.
Q: How do I dispose of PolyDissolve™ S1 supports.
A: The preferred method of disposal for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) support material is in the trash. The immersion of 3D printed objects into water containing support material will generate wastewater containing PVA. It is suggested that you contact your local Sanitary Sewer (Wastewater) Authority to obtain the proper disposal method prior to discharging to the sewer.
