I got some dissolvable high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) filament for my Replicator 2X, and have been really impressed with the results. A friend had given me a model with some fairly complex internal geometry that would require support material. I gave it a shot with standard ABS supports, and the results were rather sloppy after I removed as much of the support material as I could with needle-nose pliers. I tried it again with HIPS support material, and the results were much better.

I have a detailed blog post available at http://www.tesseract-design.com/subt...facturing.html
