Video Description
JLC3DP 3D Printing Starts at $0.3, Up to $60 New User Coupons: https://jlc3dp.com/?from=JanTec (Advertisement) In this video, I test HIPS filament (high-impact polystyrene) in detail and show why it is more than just a support material. I determine the mechanical and thermal properties, compare expensive and cheap HIPS and show the advantages and disadvantages compared to PLA, PETG, ABS and many other filaments. Whether as a spare part, for prototypes or as a support material - HIPS has more to offer than you might think! π Useful links This video in German: https://youtu.be/61Qkbp37CBs My website: https://jantec.xyz 3D printer recommendation: https://www.prusa3d.com/category/original-prusa-mk4/#a_aid=jantec&a_bid=fe5157d7 (aff) Fillamentum HIPS: https://tidd.ly/3ACeph2 (aff) Blue HIPS on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XcROQH (aff) π Support me Amazon (recommended products): https://amzn.to/4b5coqD Prusa Affiliate: https://www.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=jantec (aff) Use the code β@JanTecβ and get up to 200 Prusameter when you buy your first Prusa 3D printer! 3DJake Affiliate: https://tidd.ly/4481AFX (aff) Nobufil: https://www.nobufil.com/?ref=JanTec (aff) Get 15% discount at Nobufil with the code βJANTECβ! π Products and 3D models shown in the video Fillamentum HIPS: https://tidd.ly/3ACeph2 (aff) Blue HIPS on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XcROQH (aff) Cheap HIPS on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DE06opH (aff) More HIPS filaments: https://tidd.ly/4g8bj4H (aff) Vision Miner Nano Adhesive: https://tidd.ly/4dTJafs (aff) πΈ I use this equipment for my videos Camera: https://amzn.to/42J8Ffh (aff) Light (also for on the go): https://amzn.to/4bGtD2h (aff) Microphones: https://amzn.to/3OL8v1e (aff) Portable SSD: https://amzn.to/3T0cucB (aff) βοΈ All my recommendations (equipment, tools, 3D printing accessories): https://www.amazon.de/shop/jantec π Follow me on my other social media channels to make sure you don't miss any updates: X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/jan_tec Printables: https://www.printables.com/@JanTec LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wegenerj/ π Chapter 00:00 Intro 00:30 What's HIPS? 01:06 HIPS-Filament 02:32 Printing HIPS 04:09 Tensile Test 06:20 3-Point-Bending Test 07:05 Impact Resistance 07:54 Temperature Test 08:21 Price Comparison 09:25 More Special Properties 10:34 HIPS Support for ABS (dissolvable) 12:08 More Applications & Summary βΉοΈ Disclaimer The links marked with β(aff)β are affiliate links, which means that I receive a commission if you buy via the link - at no extra cost to you!
