Similar to ABS, but softer, waxier, and more flexible.

Has a very low density, works well for wearables and props. HIPS is commonly used as a support material for ASA or ABS because limonene will dissolve HIPS but does not impact other plastics in the styrene family (ABS, ASA).
# Nylon
Nylon filaments are engineering filaments. They're difficult to print but have excellent mechanical properties.
## Variants
### PA-6
| Pros | Cons |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| - Extremely strong<br>- Excellent layer bonds<br>- High flexibility<br>- Very high temp resistance<br>- Very low coefficient of friction | - Horrible to print<br>- Very high moisture retention<br>- Can't be too dry<br>- Very high warpage<br>- Requires a closed (ideally heated) chamber |
### PA-12
- Higher warpage than PA-6
- Higher toughness
- Higher temp resistance
- Durable but brittle
