UltiMaker PVA filament 2,85 mm / 0,75 kg

UltiMaker PVA water-soluble support filament

On this page, you can buy UltiMaker PVA filament (polyvinyl alcohol) in a 750 g spool.

UltiMaker PVA is an ideal support material for multi-extrusion 3D printing on supports that can be easily removed by simply soaking the model in water for several hours. It allows you to create complex geometries of printed elements on water-soluble supports that leave a smooth surface after removal. The use of an auxiliary material in printing allows you to be uninhibited in your creativity during modeling and printing. So UltiMaker PVA gives you additional freedom, convenience and quality throughout the entire process.

• Reliable adhesion to PLA, Tough PLA, CPE, PETG, Nylon, PET CF, PPS CF.
• The non-toxic formula is soluble in normal tap water and can be safely disposed of.
• 100% biodegradable with no hazardous by-products.

Compatibility

UltiMaker PVA is officially supported by the UltiMaker S5, UltiMaker S3 and UltiMaker 3 series 3D printers using the BB print core. It supports dual extrusion with: UltiMaker PLA, UltiMaker Tough PLA, UltiMaker PETG, UltiMaker Nylon, UltiMaker CPE.

Applications for UltiMaker PVA

Double extrusion with printing of parts with complex geometry and internal cavities, concept models, molds.

• Get smoother surface details and complex geometries

Unlike supports printed with building material, PVA 3D printing support structures reduce the chance of scratches and cuts on detailed surfaces.

• Orient prints for maximum optimization

Preparing your print with PVA gives you the freedom to orient your model in any way you want to customize its strength or aesthetic properties.

• Endless possibilities for mechanical parts
  

Multi-component applications such as ball bearings, ball and socket joints, and toothed gears can be 3D printed as a complete assembly in a single run.
