PolySupport™: Reliable Breakaway Support for PLA-Based Filaments
Designed for Perfect PLA Compatibility
PolySupport™ is a breakaway support material engineered specifically for Polymaker PLA-based filaments. It forms a strong yet easily removable interface with PLA, providing robust support during printing and allowing for quick, tool-free removal by hand.
Fast, Clean Support Removal
Unlike dissolvable supports, PolySupport™ can be removed quickly without the need for solvents or additional equipment. This makes it ideal for geometric overhangs, architectural models, and brackets where efficient post-processing is important.
Versatile and Easy to Use
While optimized for PLA, PolySupport™ has also received positive feedback when used with PolySmooth™, PolyCast™, and small PolyMax™ PC parts. It works well on both single and dual extruder printers, and does not require an enclosure or specialized hardware.
Ideal for Efficient, High-Quality Support Structures
Choose PolySupport™ when you need reliable, easy-to-remove support for PLA prints - perfect for detailed models, prototypes, and functional parts requiring clean support removal.

Technical Specifications
Everything you need before you hit print
- Keep the filament sealed and dry; use the listed 55°C / 6h drying cycle if moisture-related defects appear.
- Tune the support-interface gap so the material supports reliably but still separates cleanly.
- Use only with a printer and material combination that can maintain both materials' required temperatures.
- Start within the recommended 220 - 230°C nozzle and 25 - 60°C bed ranges, then make small adjustments for the printer and model.
- Use the recommended ON cooling-fan setting and keep printing speed within 50 - 150 mm/s.

Support material praised for excellent adhesion and easy removal. Customers said it "works great" with PLA for complex shapes and separates cleanly. Some noted it can be stringy and won't adhere well to topside of prints, requiring slicer adjustments. Dissolves easily. Considered pricey but effective.
I bought this to support some PLA prints with complex shapes. This worked out very well. I havent tried it on other materials yet, so I cant speak on them...but it works great on PLA.
My print was a bit messy due to user settings but it pushed through and did its job.
Used it on my modified Anet A8M. Had to print it slow, at 40mm/s and temps of 225. As you can see it worked.My first test print with this stuff was on a Gyro Sphere. It worked great. It is a bit stringy, had to use an ooze shield. But dissolved fairly easily. Not sure if the dissolved material is safe for a septic system? Stuck to the plate and held on very well, had to use a scraper to get it off.
I design complex parts with small sections an always have a great results with material. Supports come off clean and easy. The remaining layer of the part is printed clean .
This is the only support material I have used in the 4 years I have been printing. It works very well, and is easily removed after the prints are complete.
This was the first time that I had used PolySupport. It worked well.
Using on my bambu lab as support g. Works great.
I've tried this stuff with PLA and PETG on a dual extruder printer. It's great for printing rafts and supports, but will not adhere well to the topside of your printed part. Therefore, you will need to set your slicer to only generate supports from the build plate. Tree supports may help here.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Break cleanly away. A little pricey for something you just trash but overall I'm happy to use it.
I depend on this and print regularly with it. It separates very well, easy to print, bed adhesion is very good.I sometime print from this material alone and it has nice color and great light reflectionThe only comparable filament is 3DFuels breakaway support. It came out recently and I have yet to try.There was no other breakaway support in the market that I know of.One reviewer wrote about about the chemical composition. The material safety sheet at the company website reads that it is a mixture of Thermoplastic polyurathane and PLA.
This stuff just works. A previous post says this does not work with palette. This actually isn't the case. The issue they came across are the default settings for palette via canvas and chroma. Check your splice settings. 0-0-0 will fail.The proper setting in Canvas, Chroma, and P2PP is 6-2-8. The bond is strong enough for you to pull on.Also, rating a product low based on compatibility with a printer accessory is pretty petty. Especially when simply contacting support would have solved the issue.
