Frequently Asked Questions
How many meters of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) filament are in a 1kg spool?
A standard 1,000g (1 kg) spool of 1.75mm HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) filament (density 1.05 g/cm³) contains approximately 395.95 meters (~1299 feet). For 2.85mm diameter, a 1 kg spool yields approximately 149.29 meters.
What is the density of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) 3D printer filament?
HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) has an average density of 1.05 g/cm³. Heavier composite filaments yield fewer meters per kilogram than lightweight unfilled polymers.
How do I calculate remaining HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) on a used spool?
Weigh your spool on a digital scale in grams, subtract the tare weight of the empty spool (typically 130g–240g depending on brand), and enter the net filament weight into the MakersMetric calculator above to find the exact remaining meters.
What print temperatures are recommended for HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)?
Recommended nozzle extrusion temperature is 230-250 °C, with a recommended print bed temperature of 95-110 °C.
