Detailed explanation-1: -High Impact Polystyrene or HIPS is a plastic filament used for dissolvable support structures in FDM printers. It extrudes at around 235°C and has a set of material properties that make it similar to ABS. The main difference is that HIPS is completely soluble in a liquid hydrocarbon called limonene.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common types of plastic used in FDM 3D printing are: Polylactic Acid-commonly called PLA-is an environmentally friendly plastic often sourced from corn starch or sugar cane, which makes it biodegradable.

Detailed explanation-3: -ABS filament is the most commonly used 3D printing plastics.

Detailed explanation-4: -ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic that is commonly used as a 3D printer filament. It is also a material generally used in personal or household 3D printing and is a go-to material for most 3D printers.
