HIPS 1.75mm Filament (Hight Impact Polystyrene) CCDIY Official 3D Printer Supplier Australia (Hight Impact Polystyrene) CCDIY Official 3D Printer Supplier Australia. HIPS is a strong, high-temperature filament that can be dissolved in Limonene solution. As a result it can be used as a support material that can be used with ABS, with which it shares similar properties and printing temperatures. HIPS can also produce great prints in it’s own right, as it is just as strong as ABS but has much less shrinkage and therefore warps less when printing.
