Prusa, for BVOH. Typical ranges from one maker’s data sheet. Brands differ: the label on your spool wins.
Why it matters
- BCN3D: BVOH dissolves much quicker than PVA and leaves less behind in the print.
- Prusa: it is the easier of the two to print, and sticks to the bed a little better than PVA.
Tips from the workshop
- Keep it in a dry box: like PVA, it soaks up moisture fast.
