welcome to the filamentprofile series in these videos we're showcasingproperties and applications for the many materials you can print with the luzbot3d printer the filament highlighted in this videois called hips a polymer otherwise known as high impactpolystyrene
different types of 3d printing, before starting your print we recommendapplying it glue stick to your printer bed before warming it to ensure your object doesn't come offthe bed during printing for optimum hips print quality werecommend a nozzle temperature of
220 to 230 degrees celsius and a bed temperature at 50 to 60degrees celsius hips is increasingly popular in the 3dprinting community known for its dimensional stability andlow material cost it's ideal for low strength structuralapplications and prototyping hips can also be glued and painted withacrylic paint once the print is finished making it a great material for modelsprops, and costumes today we're putting a quadcopter rotorprotector there will be strong and stable enoughto withstand flight
