PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a specialty filament primarily used as a water-soluble support material for 3D printing. It is often combined with PLA, PETG or other materials where complex geometries require support that can be easily removed after printing.
Features:
- Water-soluble – dissolves completely in plain water.
- Perfect for complex prints – allows you to print overhangs, internal cavities and moving mechanisms.
- Biodegradable – environmentally friendly alternative to traditional support materials.
- Compatible with multiple materials – especially PLA and PETG.
VA is the obvious choice when you want to print complex geometries with easy support removal – dissolve it in water and your print stands completely free without damage or rework.
Important to know:
-
Dissolution in water can take from a few hours to a day , depending on the amount of PVA and the water temperature.
-
Use lukewarm water and gentle stirring for faster dissolution.
