MatterHackers Natural PRO Series Breakaway Support Material - 2.85mm (1kg)
MatterHackers PRO Series Breakaway Support Material is engineered to provide the optimal balance between reliable bed adhesion and clean mechanical breakaway from 3D printed parts. Ideal for prints that require support material but that also need to be ready for immediate use after printing – PRO Series Breakaway support material reduces the need for post-processing and boasts a longer shelf life and moisture resistance when compared to other support materials such as PVA or HIPS.

AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE SUPPORT MATERIAL
MatterHackers PRO Series Breakaway support material has several key advantages over other support material such as PVA or HIPS. Unlike these other support materials, which require a solvent such as water, limonene, or alcohol to breakdown the material, PRO Series Breakaway Support can be quickly and easily removed from printed parts without the need to submerge the print - dramatically reducing post-processing time and improving overall productivity!
When Reliability Counts - Be a PRO
MatterHackers PRO Series filament is all about quality. When the performance of a 3D printed component is the ultimate goal, you need to know you’re printing with a material you can trust. MatterHackers’ PRO Series filament is meticulously refined and continuously tested to provide optimal results for every application. That’s why our material experts have developed a range of responsive high-performance thermoplastics that maintain reliability through your process of rough prototyping to sophisticated, end-use designs. No matter your end goal, PRO Series filament delivers your parts exactly as you intended them.
Function in its Finest Form
MatterHackers PRO Series materials are formulated for functional 3D printing. Because of its precisely detailed chemical blueprint, PRO Series 3D printing filament provides the consistency needed for repeatable part-production. Kawasaki’s Supercross Racing Team Engineers use PRO Series materials for both prototyping and end-use parts. Using PRO Series materials for essential components on their teams’ motorcycles has not only helped them fabricate in low volume, but it’s also reduced cost by 95% and time by 86%. They turn to PRO Series because they know it works well.
Premium Quality and Craftsmanship
PRO Series materials are formulated with zero compromises. The base resin, and all performance enhancing additives, are carefully sourced to include only those of the highest purity and provenance The consistent colors curated from quality sources combined with the exact manufacturing environment needed to maintain an industry-leading ±0.02mm diameter tolerance create materials you can use confidently. Experience smooth, uniform filament for all your important projects - experience PRO Series.
It’s Not Just Filament, It’s a Results-Driven Experience - With Options
Not only is our PRO Series line of filament carefully crafted, but we have an extensive collection of materials to choose from that fit every need and specific applications. From Tough PLA for serious prototyping to vibrant Nylons for sturdy, lasting products, PRO Series 3D printing materials deliver quality parts, time after time. PRO Series filament is created with end-use results as the main priority, ensuring that your finished 3D printed parts are as clean, sturdy, and functional as possible.
Choose the material developed and guaranteed by the leader in 3D printing materials
MatterHackers PRO Series filament has remained the quintessential choice for anyone that demands exacting results for their business, products, and projects. Our attention to precise filament tolerance, strict coloration guidelines, and definitive chemical patterns are reflected directly in your completed products.
Mechanical Properties that are Tuned for Performance
We know that end-use products are only as good as the materials and tools used to create them - that’s why we put our PRO Series filament through rigorous testing before it makes its way to your workshop or manufacturing floor. Having high-quality materials is essential when creating functional or product-ready components, therefore all MatterHackers PRO Series materials are analyzed using in-house testing equipment, including a Universal Testing System and a Melt Flow Indexer. These machines are used specifically to measure tensile and flexural properties, as well as the melt flow index of each material ensuring that all PRO Series filament is dependable and performing at its peak capabilities. MatterHackers PRO Series materials are tested and measured using ASTM 638 and D790 or ISO 527-1, 527-2, and 178.
Quality Assurance: Why Filament Diameter and Ovality Matters
With PRO Series materials, you know you’re getting the most accurate filament diameter and ovality available. Having a consistent diameter of 3D printing filament is very important - it directly impacts the print quality of your designs. The slicing engine calculates the volume of filament that will be deposited on each layer. The critical value that is input into the slicing engine for that volume is the diameter of the material (either 1.75mm or 2.85mm). Therefore, any variation in that diameter can cause the print to over or under extrude. In terms of raw materials - the filament diameter is one that requires a high level of confidence that you KNOW what you’re using.
MatterHackers Maintains Diameter Tolerance In Every Spool using Laser Gauges
Since we know diameter matters, we obsess over ensuring that PRO Series materials are on the mark so you can create perfectly printed parts. MatterHackers uses two and three-axis laser systems to measure and maintain the accuracy of the filament diameter at 40 hertz (40 times per second) - that way we know the filament diameter is consistent and within our 0.02mm diameter tolerance guarantee. Not only that, but the data for each production run is recorded and stored so we have traceability on all PRO Series materials to establish further confidence in each batch we produce.

Questions
Will this work with Nylon? How much of a gap should I leave between the support and part?
Could you please supply some guidance regarding slicer settings for this material? I am printing with an Ultimaker S5 and U3 (same print cores - 0.4AA), temp set to 215 C, and slicing with CURA 5.4. This stuff (Natural PRO Series Breakaway Support Material) sticks to tough PLA to the point where it is useless, and barely works, that is you can't remove the support material, with PLA - even whit the 'support Z distance' and 'support top distance' both set to 0.4 mm.
I would love to leave a review on this product but can’t figure out how. I generally love Matterhacker filaments, but I just threw away two full spools of this, one in1.75 and the other in 2.85 size. I tried using this first with PolyMaker Tough PLA and it stuck like glue. No problem, I assume this is just designed to work with MH PLAs, so, being a researcher, I decided to try some experiments using Ultimaker, PolyMaker, and MH breakaway support with both PolyMaker and MH tough PLA filaments. Bottom line, the worst combination was MH breakaway with PolyMaker tough PLA, but MH with MH tough PLA was not much better. Ultimaker worked well with both tough PLAs but the best was Polymaker’s Polysupport with both MH and PolyMaker tough PLA. I would advise not getting this filament and instead going with the PolyMaker Polysupport or the Ultimaker breakaway support if you have a 2.85 printer.
I'd like to print a fragile part. Is this material going to dissolve in water or degrade particularly quickly in sunlight?
Any idea the dimensions of the spool itself? Trying to see if it would fit in the AMS on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon.
I'm having trouble with my extruder biting into the filament then not being able to extrude it further. It randomly stops extruding during prints or won't start extruding from the beginning. What can I do to fix this?
Can I print this with a standard nozzle? My ultimaker 3 came with a special nozzle for PVA
What should the printer settings be for this, in terms of the "interface" to the part? Should this be treated like soluble support, with zero gap? I tried those settings with PLA, where the part and support material were horizontal and the breakaway material stuck like crazy to the PLA. Trying PETG now to see if it's removable. BTW I'm using a Prusa i3 Mk3s with PrusaSlicer
