Have been testing the HIPS filament by @Trideus_BVBA . The filament is great but cracks easily as can be seen on the hull of the @3DBenchy

215°C extruder / 60°C bed
0.2mm layer height
10% infill
60mm/s infill
40mm/s inner perimeters
30mm/s outer perimeters

HIPS isn’t really good as a primary printing material. It’s OK for a limonene-removable support material, but otherwise it’s really not a substitute for ABS.

I think your later adhesion is more your not printing hot enough and not so much the HIPS

@ThantiK I knew that, however this material has such a nice matte surface finish that I couldn’t resist trying to print a complete model :wink:

@Derek_Schuetz Thanks for the tip, I’ll increase the temperature on the next print.

You have poor inter-layer cohesion due to too low hotend temperature.

BTW @ThantiK , HIPS and ABS are not that dissimilar. Both are graft co-polymers with styrene and butadiene, except ABS has also acrylonitrile. HIPS has relatively high impact strength, somewhat close to ABS. And… ABS will partially dissolve in limonene, too.

Hi, we print our HIPS around 250°C on an UM2. This gives perfect results!

@Jesse_Buteneers Thanks for the tip, I’ll re-run the print with 250°C next time!
