Comment on Issues using PVA with a Prusa XL
mortalic@lemmy.world 3 months agoI was printing at 190, is that still too hot? It was fresh out of the vaccuseal when I attempted this, but for future attempts I’ll be sure to dry it.

You should be fine. It is about temperature and time. Don’t keep the nozzle heated up when it isn’t used. Don’t dry it frequently (keep it in a dry environment) and use low temperatures.
190° is the low end of printing temperatures. SainSmart should probably be okay when printed below 210°C
With “special” PVA like FormFutura Helios you go up to 250°C: formfutura.com/product/helios-support/
Regardless BVOH should be the better choice at higher cost.
