Compatibility:
BigRep’s BVOH support material is an ecologically friendly advanced water-soluble filament that eliminates post-processing for 3D printed parts. Created for use with dual-extruder printers, BVOH can be used in tandem with any other material to provide efficient support. It has been optimized for improved melt flow, eliminating concerns of hotend clogging that come with other soluble filaments.
Due to BVOH’s ability to support heavy prints and the support-removal post-processing it eliminates, it’s ideal for printing complex, ready-to-use prototypes and objects with a large overhang or otherwise complex geometries.
BVOH easily dissolves in water – dissolving faster in higher temperatures – cleanly freeing parts from support structures without manual post-processing.

Features
Water Solubility
BigRep BVOH filament is a water-soluble support material specifically designed for complex 3D prints with intricate geometries or overhangs. It dissolves in water, allowing for easy removal of support structures without the need for manual post-processing or potentially damaging the main printed object.
Excellent Compatibility
BigRep BVOH is designed to be compatible with various 3D printing materials, including PLA, ABS, and other thermoplastics. This makes it a versatile choice for dual-extrusion printers, where BVOH can be used as a support material alongside the primary filament to achieve complex and detailed prints.
High Thermal Stability
BVOH has good thermal stability, allowing it to withstand the elevated temperatures typically associated with the 3D printing process. It can provide reliable support structures even for prints that require higher printing temperatures, ensuring stability and accuracy throughout the printing process.
Smooth Surface Finish
BigRep BVOH produces support structures with a smooth surface finish, which minimizes the need for extensive post-processing. Once dissolved in water, the support structures leave behind a clean and residue-free surface, allowing for a polished final print with minimal effort.
