I had looked online and didn't see much information on techniques that people used to melt away HIPS filament used as support material so I came up with my own process.
When I first tried melting away HIPS with Limonene, I filled up a mason jar and tossed the part in. When I came back, the HIPS had melted but left a sticky mess in the bottom of the jar and my part had settled into it. Cleaning this material out of the jar is really difficult and Limonene is fairly expensive and hard to com
