MakerBot METHOD X SR-30 Support Filament (.45kg, 1lb)

MakerBot Method X SR-30 Support Filament – 1 lb Spool

MakerBot Method X SR-30 support filament is a proprietary soluble support material developed to work with ABS, ASA, and other higher-temperature model materials on the MakerBot Method platform. Tuned specifically for the Method X and Method XL ecosystems, SR-30 gives engineers and educators the freedom to print complex overhangs, internal channels, and delicate geometries that would be impossible to support with breakaway materials alone.

This 1 lb smart spool is designed for use with the Support 2XA extruder and is stored inside the enclosed material drawer of compatible printers. When your part is finished, the SR-30 support dissolves in a heated Ecoworks solution under agitation, leaving behind clean model surfaces and accurate features. For busy labs and production teams that want reliable soluble support on ABS-class materials, MakerBot Method X SR-30 support filament is a proven solution.

Key Features of MakerBot Method X SR-30 Support Filament:

• Proprietary soluble support: Developed for use with ABS, ASA, and other high-temperature model materials on the Method Series platform.
• Clean support removal: Dissolves in an Ecoworks cleaning solution with heat and agitation, leaving smooth surfaces and fine details.
• Optimized for Method X hardware: Designed to run with the Support 2XA extruder inside Method X and Method XL printers.
• Ideal for complex geometries: Supports deep internal cavities, delicate features, and large overhangs that are difficult to achieve with breakaway supports.
• Smart spool design: MakerBot smart spool integrates with the Method system to track material usage and help maintain low moisture in the drawer bay.

Applications:

• Functional prototypes: Print ABS and ASA prototypes with intricate features, internal channels, or lattices that require fully soluble support.
• Tooling and fixtures: Produce production aids with complex support structures that can be washed away cleanly after printing.
• End-use components: Create small-batch parts with challenging geometries and support contact surfaces that must remain smooth and accurate.
• Educational projects: Enable students to design freely without worrying about manual support removal on advanced engineering materials.

Printing & Dissolution Guidelines:

• Dual-extrusion setup: Use SR-30 in the Support 2XA extruder and pair it with compatible ABS- or ASA-based model materials.
• Best results: For proper dissolution, use an Ecoworks cleaning agent in a heated circulation tank with agitation as recommended by MakerBot and Stratasys.
• Design freedom: Take advantage of SR-30 when designing parts with steep overhangs, enclosed channels, or features that require full soluble support.
• More guidance: For detailed setup and wash-out procedures, see the official MakerBot SR-30 printing guidelines on the MakerBot support site.
