5.6 Removal Method of Water-soluble Support Material

Models using PVA as the support material require some subsequent treatment after
finishing printing. Place the models in water to dissolve the PVA support.
1. Submerge the model in water
Place the model with PVA support in water and the PVA will slowly dissolve. This
process can be quickened by using the following methods：
· Warm water will decrease the dissolving time. If PLA is used for the printed
model, please ensure that the water is no hotter than 35 °C, otherwise the PLA
may be deformed.
· Use stirring/running water to decrease the dissolving time. Moving water
enables the PVA to dissolve more quickly.
· You can also speed up PVA dissolution by placing the model in water for
approximately 10 minutes, then removing most of the support with pliers and
placing the model back in the water.
2. Rinse with water
After PVA supports are totally dissolved, rinse the model with water to remove any
excess PVA.
3. Let the model dry
Let the model dry completely and apply additional post-processing to the model if
necessary.
4. Disposal of waste water
As PVA is a biodegradable material, therefore disposing the waste water
afterwards is easy. The waste water can be disposed down the drain. After
disposal, run hot water from the tap for approximately 30 seconds to remove any
excess saturated PVA and to avoid longer-term clogging issues.
