Just learning about this now... (I live under a rock?)

Sounds awesome for support material. When you drop the piece in water after the fact, does all of the dissolvable filament really.. uhhh dissolve? Is it a smooth finish?

Is it easy to work with?

You have other material that I'm used too. Called HIPS

However it dissolves in d-lemonine

james_g - Haha at first I read that as HIPS dissolves in lemonade. Interesting!

Does anyone have experience with PVA? Is it a really clean result?

elpulpo - That reminds me! I have a sample of PVA somewhere, I was planning to try out when I got my Flash Forge. Had it for 2 months and forgot to try it out!

vinnie90 - I know the HIPS comes off completely.
