Can I use PolySupport™ with other materials than PLA?

We have designed PolySupport™ specifically for PLA. However we had positive customer feedback on using PolySupport™ with PolySmooth™, PolyCast™ and small PolyMax™ PC parts.

Can PolySupport™ dissolve in water?

No, PolySupport™ is a breakaway support: it requires mechanical removal.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

That said - we will always recommend using a multi nozzle extruder when printing with more than one material type to help prevent clogs.

It is possible to print PLA and PolySupport out of a single nozzle but you need to make sure you properly purge all of the previous material when swapping. IDEX or Tool Changer recommended.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?

Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling PLA at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle PLA at this time.
