[Newb PVA questions]

Any idea what temperature the water is?  What do you do with the waste water?  Just pour it down the drain?

But keep in mind you need to be able to get in to remove the PLA parts of the supports, so thats something that you need to think about each print.

Can you indicate that only some support structures (e.g. exterior ones) are to be PVA + PLA while others (e.g. interior ones) are to be all PVA?

Also, does the slicer allow you to specify a mixture of PLA and PVA for support structures, and can you specify it for just certain structures?  Otherwise, how do you do what you suggest?

Thanks.  Do you replace the water to keep it warm (which could be achieved with a heater) or to preserve its purity?

Thanks.  I'm guessing it's this one.

Newb here.  I’m thinking of buying my first 3D printer and leaning toward the S3.  
 

1.  Does PVA dissolve faster in warm water than it does in cold?  How much of a difference is there?

2.  Does PVA dissolve faster with agitation of the water than in still water?  How much of a difference is there?

3.  How long does the PVA dissolving process take?  I realize this depends on the model, but any guidelines or anecdotes would be helpful.  I’ve seen some timelapses on YouTube, but none that included a clock.

 

Thanks.

Newb here.  I’m thinking of buying my first 3D printer and leaning toward the S3.  Is there a guide somewhere that lists the strengths and weaknesses of each type of filament, maybe with examples of ideal uses?  Thanks for any pointers.
