Ultimaker Breakaway Material
Ultimaker Breakaway is a support material for multi-extrusion 3D printing. Breakaway support is quick to remove and does not need further post-processing for a smooth finish on your 3D print. Designed for a hassle-free 3D printing experience, Breakaway provides good adhesion to ABS, PLA, Nylon, CPE, or CPE+.
Important Note: Ultimaker Breakaway Material should be printed only using a Print Core AA 0.4mm. Other sizes of the Print Core AA are not supported with Ultimaker Breakaway, and the Print Core BB is only for PVA water soluble support material.
