PVA Support on ff.
Has anyone printed with this material on the ff and how did it turn out?

I am curious too if it works. I am planning to try it next week. I will come back with a reply..

Also curious about PVA.
Plan to give it a try but thought I'd check the forum first.
Looks like I'm not the only one.

got a sample this morning.
I was expecting something a bit like hot glue gun glue stick. But it's totally clear and very hard.
Looks interesting.
Don't envision any problems.

first trial... Materials: ABS and PVA
PVA prints very nice on Flashforge Creator Pro, sticks to the platform, but going further - ABS is NOT STICKING to PVA supportPrintare 3D Bucuresti

PVA: 190 for the nozzle and 60 for the platform.
Second trial: Raft - ABS, object - ABS, PVA as support, . PVA not sticking to ABS, of course...
Now the next step is to find out how to make those 2 stick together so I can have my model... at some point...Printare 3D Bucuresti

try printing the pva at a higher temp.
Can't think of any other way to make it stick.

Can't get too high of temp with PVA or it will burn up. 180-190 max...
There is a recent discussion on the FlashForge Google group about this mix of PVA and ABS. Pretty much difficult to get right because of the optimum temp difference between both filaments.

Yeah I am having the exact same results. PVA sticks nicely to the bed but the ABS refuses to adhere to the PVA. I've tried temps from 190 to 230 on the PVA and no change.
I've seen mixed statements online that PVA and ABS don't mix...other sites say they do.. hard to figure out.
Wish I had some PLA, apprently that sticks to PVA real well.
