The kit VXL Go Starter Kit contains:

• A 100 g spool of the selected Xioneer support filament with the chosen diameter (1.75 or 2.85 mm) - VXL 70 or VXL 90.
• A 10 l plastic container with convenient cutouts for the stirring rod and siphon pump.
• A stirring rod with heater, equipped with a touch display for setting dissolution time and temperatures.
• A siphon hand pump for draining the used solution from the tank.
• A pair of stainless steel tongs for handling the parts.
• A pair of safety goggles and safety gloves to ensure user safety at all times.
• A sachet of VXL Solve support dissolving powder. Xioneer VXL EX powder solvent can also be used with VXL Go.

Thanks to its considerable size (380 x 240 x 210 mm), the container is big enough to fit medium-sized 3D printed parts. The method of support removal in the VXL Go Starter Kit is via continuous fluid agitation and heat. The heat is provided by the stirring rod with an adjustable temperature range (25-60 °C). The stirring rod can heat up to its maximum temperature in approximately 25 minutes and consumes a maximum of 850 W (power supply AC 230 V/50 Hz EU-Plug).

Depending on the support filament chosen with the kit as well as on the softening temperature of the main material, the recommended dissolution temperatures will differ and should be adjusted accordingly. Using water that is too hot may cause warping in the main part due to residual internal stresses from the printing.
