Helios Support is a �high heat� water-soluble PVA material which is engineered as support material for dual extrusion 3D printing in combination with engineering materials which require to be printed at higher temperatures and/or in heated build chambers. Helios support can be printed at nozzle temperatures up to 250� C without the risk of cross linking and nozzle clogging and adheres extremely well to styrene based materials such as ABS, TitanX, Crystal Flex, and ApolloX, but also to Python Flex and Volcano PLA.

Helios Support dissolves slightly slower in water than normal PVA, but the dissolving process can be sped up when using warm and circulating water.

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.

*) Once Helios Support has been used or opened from its original vacuum sealed packaging for a while it is advised to dry the material before using again.

Formfutura PVA Support matrix

Below overview is meant to give guidance on which of our PVA based support materials � AquaSolve PVA, Atlas Support, and Helios Support � is advised as support material in combination with various Formfutura filaments that can be used as primary building material.

Please do note that below overview is purely meant as general guidance and advice based on our in-house expertise and experience and that it is not to be seen as a fixed principle or rule. There are numerous factors that determine the best fitting PVA support with a primary building material and it actually varies per 3D printer. Below overview can according to our state of knowledge be used as guidance for the fast majority of 3D printers.
