AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM Universal Support Material Our AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM Universal Support Material is an all-new, highly advanced universal water-soluble support formulated specifically for printing complicated parts. AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM is readily dissolved in warm water and has excellent adhesion to the broadest range of materials, including our popular advanced composites like CarbonX™ Carbon Fiber Nylons and FibreX™ Glass Fiber Nylons. Benefits of AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM: Readily soluble in warm water Eco-friendly and safe to dispose in house or office drains Ideal support material for the widest array of materials, including many which are infamous for being difficult to support! Low moisture absorption while exposed to the air during printing, getting less tacky over time than similar support materials Compatible Materials: AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM really is our most compatible support material, it works excellent with all the following and more: PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, Nylons, and flexible filaments like TPC, TPU, and COPE. This includes all of our famous composite variants of these grades, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and ESD-safe. Recommended Support Removal Techniques: Break away excess support material that’s easily accessible. This reduces dissolution time (more support material = a longer time to dissolve). Submerge the part in warm water. Hot tap water is typically 38-49°C, which is more than adequate for dissolving AquaTek™ X1 Advanced USM. Please be safe with hot water! Agitating and stirring the water reduces dissolution time further, either with mechanical agitation or a sonic cleaning bath system. Re-heat or replace the warm water as it cools off for as long as you still see support material un-dissolved. Residue is ecologically safe and can be disposed of down a home or office drain. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, warm water. Filament Specifications: 1.75mm and 2.85mm /- 0.05mm in diameter Recommended Print Settings: Extruder: 245-265°C Bed Temp: 60-90°C Bed Prep: Magigoo Bed Prep Adhesives, Nano Polymer Adhesive, or Polyimide Tape gives us the best results. Heated Chamber: Not required, but often helpful. Enclosure temp should not exceed 120°C for X1 USM Other: AquaTek™ Advanced X1 Advanced USM will absorb moisture from ambient humidity, therefore best practice is to store filament in a sealed container while not in use. Drying Instructions: 65°C for 2-4 hours
