Colorfabb PVOH filament - 1.75mm 1kg

colorFabb PVOH

colorFabb PVOH is a premium, water-soluble support filament developed for complex dual extrusion 3D prints. The material dissolves in warm water, allowing support structures to be removed easily and cleanly without damaging the main part.

Key Features

• Water-soluble support material
• Dissolves quickly and cleanly in warm water
• Leaves minimal residue on the finished print
• Good adhesion to many common printing materials
• Suitable for complex geometries, internal cavities, and overhangs
• Produced in the Netherlands with a focus on dimensional accuracy and consistent quality

Compatible Materials

PVOH works well with:

• PLA
• PETG
• Selected nylon materials

The material is developed for reliable adhesion in dual-extrusion systems.

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190–220 °C
• Print Temperature (ColorFabb's recommendation): 220–230 °C
• Heated Bed: 50–60 °C
• Print Speed: 40–100 mm/s

Storage

PVOH is moisture-sensitive and should be stored in a dry box or airtight container. Before use, drying at approx. 70 °C for 1–2 hours is recommended to ensure stable extrusion.

Support Removal

After printing, place the model in warm water (40–50 °C). Circulation or agitation of the water accelerates dissolution. Once the support is dissolved, rinse and dry the part.
