The storage and extrusion of common hydrosoluble support materials such as PVA and BVOH can prove problematic due to those materials' increased sensitivity to humidity. The VXL 70 support filament is a versatile and easy to print support filament developed by Xioneer as a better alternative for PVA or BVOH.

VXL 70 belongs to the Xioneer VXL family of soluble support materials whose features are impressively superior to those of BVOH and PVA, namely:

Smoother and more reliable printing due to no clogging.
Better adhesion to the print bed and model.
Faster dissolution than BVOH and PVA.
High dimensional accuracy.
Easier to store and use thanks to far less sensitivity to humidity.
Broadest range of model material compatibility.

Extrusion quality with the VXL filaments vs PVA

Thanks to a special proprietary Xioneer formula based on years of research, the VXL 70 support filament has great adhesion properties and high thermal stability, which makes it compatible with a wide range of materials, for example PETG, PVB, TPU, TPC, PCTG, ABS, ASA, HIPS and PA.

The VXL filaments are alkali-soluble support materials suitable for intricate 3D printed structures, typically printed with low infill and easily washed away from the model in a solution of water and VXL EX or VXL Solve (detergents designed by Xioneer especially for the VXL support materials), with the help of the Vortex EZ support removal station. The VXL 70 support material is also available as part of the VXL GO Starter Kit, aimed at users who do not have the Vortex EZ support removal station.

The manufacturer recommends printing the VXL 70 support material on a bed heated to 50-70 °C and on a 3D printer with dual extrusion and a heated chamber (up to 60 ºC). Nevertheless, these parameters will largely depend on the recommended printing parameters of the main material (ABS, ASA, HIPS, PA, PCTG, PETG, PVB, TPC, TPU). The maximum extrusion temperature of 200-220 °C should not be exceeded for this filament.

Althouth the VXL 70 support material is more resistant to humidity, it should still be stored in a cool and dry environment (15-25 °C) and away from UV light to ensure the filament's optimal shelf life. The spool should be stored in its original packaging and the included desiccant can be regenerated at 80 ºC for four hours. If the original packaging is not available, VXL 70 should be stored in a vacuum sealed container with a filament drying capsule or in the DryBox EZ by Xioneer, a professional filament storage solution that ensures humidity is kept away from the material.

The VXL 70 support filament must be dissolved only in the VXL EX and VXL Solve detergents, especially designed for the VXL support filaments. This can be done with the help of the Vortex EZ support removal station by Xioneer.

Personal protection equipment (goggles, gloves, garments, shoes, breathing equipment) should always be worn and adequate room ventilation should be used when handling the VXL 70 support filament and the solvents.
