Removing HP Designjet 3D Support Material
HP Designjet 3D and HP Designjet Color 3D use HP Designjet 3D Support Material which is
designed to dissolve in a soap and water based solution. Your part is left with a smooth and
clean finish with the fine details intact. The support material can be removed by hand with
relative ease, but is designed to be dissolved from your parts for hands free finishing.
Emptying the purge bucket
Empty the purge bucket after each build to avoid part quality issues or damage to the printer.
1. With a gloved hand, lift up on the purge bucket and pull it off of the two mounts. See

mounts and hangs flush with the chamber wall to avoid damage.
