We're running a stratasys 3D printer, and it uses casting wax as a support material. The downside is that removing this from the parts is very time consuming. Has anyone had any success using a different material to produce parts? We'd love to have something soluble (water = best, but anything would work), but apart from purchasing their new and improved model, we don't seem to be having any luck. I understand there are several options for low ash content casting wax available, and if anyone can recommend a good supplier I'd be more than happy to give them a try.
 
Thanks
