MatterHackers MH Build Series PVA Filament - 2.85mm (0.5kg)
MH Build PVA is an affordable PVA filament intended for producing quality support prints for your 3D printed parts. PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a water-soluble material that is often used as a support material, but can also be used to print independently. PVA supports are useful for complex designs where removing support material manually is difficult or impossible, but leaving the part in a water bath overnight will completely dissolve this material. MH Build PVA is made with price in mind for any maker, from beginner to advanced.

MH Build Series - Affordable PLA 3D Printer Filament for Every Maker
MH Build 3D printing filaments are designed with price in mind; we have taken the best aspects of PVA filament and created an affordable solution for every 3D maker. MH Build filaments include PLA, ABS, and PETG. So if you’re a pure beginner with a limited budget, or an additive manufacturer looking to save on production costs, MatterHackers MH Build PVA is the filament to get any job done.
PVA filament is easy to print with due to its low melting temperature of 185°C, which also make it a perfect match with PLA, which has very similar printer settings. The only special characteristic to keep in mind is that PVA is very hygroscopic, meaning it very easily absorbs water from the atmosphere. Best practices for managing this include storing the filament in a sealed container or drying it in an oven before printing.
PRINTS BEAUTIFULLY ALONGSIDE PLA
PLA is a favorite filament in the 3D printing world, and shared common printing temperature with PVA. PLA is also hydrophobic, meaning it doesn't absorb water, which means you don't risk affecting your parts by submerging them in a water bath to dissolve your supports. PVA and PLA also share a very similar glass transition temperature which is very helpful as you are not printing two materials next to each other at heavily varying temperatures. MH Build PVA prints translucent with a slightly yellow tint. It is most often used on 3D printers with dual extruders, with one extruder printing a primary material (such as ABS or PLA) and the other printing this easily-dissolved material to provide support for overhanging features.

Questions
Does PVA give off bad fumes like say, ABS?
Any best-practice guidelines for disposal of the waste water? Doesn't seem like pouring dilute glue down the drain is a great idea.
what is the weight of the spool for 3.00mm PVA filament from Matterhackers?
i have the Lulzbot TAZ 6, with the V3 Dual Extruder, i've bought this Natural PVA + the Silver PRO Series PLA Filament, but i can't make them works together, when the printer is melting the PLA over the PVA Support Material, the PLA wont stick on the PVA, any recomendation ?
Is there any data on using PVA as a support material for Moldlay? I am currently getting excellent results printing Moldlay on my slightly modified FT 5 I have been printing at 175 C . Your data sheet shows PVA at 185 +/- 15, should work.
Will this PVA work on a BCN3D Sigma? There were some discussions that the Sigma printer will only work with 2.85 mm filament, and that 3.0 mm is too thick.
Will this PVA work on the Anet A8 and the LulzBot Taz 5
What is the molecular weight of the pva?
What percentage of hydrolysis does PVA have?
How dry? Is an office environment dry enough for PVA? Should we store it in Tupperware like container in between uses?
I work for a company and We purchased from you a bcn3d to improve our speed when prototyping earlier this week, we would like to setup an account with you so we can order materials is this possible?
How can we obtain an MSDS for PVA. Mostly concerned with the after product of water and disolved PVA for waste reasons.
I have an AIrwolf HD2X which is not capable of setting the extruders to different temperatures. What dissolvable support filament can I use with PLA?
Can this be used in a Replicator 2X
the water soluble pva is usable for as support for ANS or for PLA
Is there a CURA available for this PVA to print on an Ultimaker 3? Would rather not waster time/material tuning settings to get it right and would prefer to use something that's been fine tuned and worked out.
