How to store filaments
Humidity and UV light can decrease the filament quality and weaken its mechanical properties. We strongly recommend storing open filaments in a dry and dark place. You can find a complete guide on how to properly store your filament here
Where to throw print fails and supports?
We kindly ask our customers to cope with plastic waste responsibly. Failed prints, support material, rafts, or brims should be liquidated according to the local guidelines. Paradoxically, in most cases, it is better to throw this waste in the regular trash can, as most of the material waste created in 3D printing is not identified, which causes more problems than benefits in the waste sorting facilities.

General information about HIPS :
HIPS is a multifunctional material. It can be used to print dissolvable support structures (commonly with styrene based material like ABS or ASA) in Lemonesol, but it can also be used to print functional components. Because HIPS is prone to warping, usually other materials with a better printability like PETG are prioritized for printing functional components and provide similar mechanical properties. HIPS is characterized by good thermal resistance, low water, and moisture absorption, electrical insulation, great dimensional stability, and impact strength.
Printability of HIPS filament
As HIPS is prone to warping, an enclosure is strongly recommended. As HIPS tends to contract rapidly, preventing rapid temperature change is crucial. The cooling fan should be turned off. If you experience splitting or cracking layers, consider increasing your extruder temperature.
Tips and other notable benefits
Some HIPS filaments have additives that make them easier to print, but these chemicals can also make HIPS more difficult to dissolve and remove if you plan to use it as a support material.
Consider employing an ABS slurry to improve bed adhesion (also called ABS juice). You can make this mixture yourself by combining ABS filament pieces with acetone and then applying the mixture to your print bed surface.

Who is Fillamentum for?
Choose PLA Extrafill when colour and surface quality matter – for models, prototypes and decorations. CPE HG100 is a tougher, easy-to-print alternative to PETG for functional parts. The Flexfill range covers flexible parts from soft to semi-rigid, and the nylon grades suit wear-resistant mechanical parts; remember to dry nylon before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Fillamentum made?
Fillamentum is a Czech brand. Its filaments are exported to more than 62 countries around the world.
What is CPE HG100?
CPE is a copolyester related to PETG. It was developed for users who want more toughness than PETG while keeping easy printing with no warping.
Which Flexfill should I choose?
The number in the name is the Shore hardness: the lower the number, the softer and more elastic the part. Flexible filaments print best slowly, ideally with a direct-drive extruder.
