Irv and Ender5r are keeping me on pins and needles. I really want to see how these printers test out in the real world and what miracles can be done with them.

I have not yet ordered any dissolvable filament, but I do believe dissolvable supports is 1 of the most intriguing possibilities of IDEX printers.

It seems that soluble filament is quite expensive but it seems there are work arounds to save on using it by switching support filaments.
The only use it where you need it method. It will be interesting to see how that works out.
