Can anyone recommend a good support filament that will dissolve in water? Need to print intricate tubes with ninja flex.

Thanks!

None of the dissolvable supports work very well. The interface between the support and the part will not exactly look right, and ninjaflex may not stick to it anyways. This stuff might work well enough for your needs [https://airwolf3d.com/shop/water-soluble-support-3d-print/](https://airwolf3d.com/shop/water-soluble-support-3d-print/) but it’s a $100 gamble, and I’ve yet to see results I would consider tolerable with it.
