HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a dissolve-able filament that is frequently used as support material. It acts as a great support material because it is easily removed with Limonene solution, leaving the clean high-quality print that you want behind. HIPS requires no scraping, cutting, or any other method of removal that may cause damage to your prints.

as a material, actually pre-dates most modern plastics and has been used to manufacture guitar picks since the beginning of the 20th Century. Due to it’s long history, celluloid has become one of the most popular guitar pick materials amongst guitar players all over the world.

Our Celluloid picks are available in a large variety of colours and 6 different gauges 0.46, 0.71, 0.81. 0.96, 1.14 and 1.35mm making this a very versatile choice. Due to the vintage nature of these picks, they produce a warm rounded tone and are a Grover Allman favourite.

Most common picks are made out of various types of plastic. Most popular plastics include: Celluloid. Historically, this was the first plastic ever used to produce picks, and it is still of some use today, especially for guitarists aiming for vintage tone. Nylon. Popular material, has a smooth and slick surface, so most manufacturers add a high-friction coating to nylon picks to make them easier to grip. Nylon is flexible and can be produced in very thin sheets. Most thin and extra-thin picks are made out of nylon. However, nylon loses its flexibility after 1–2 months of extensive use, becomes fragile and breaks, so guitarists that use thin nylon picks should have several spare picks just in case. Tortex / Delrex. By Jim Dunlop and D'Andrea Picks respectively. Brand names for DuPont Delrin which is specially treated to have a matte, opaque surface, surprisingly easy to grip even with sweaty fingers. Acetal. Acetal is a class of plastics, which is divided into two groups. The copolymer group, was first introduced by McAndrew Hoechst Celanese Corporation in 1960. Steve Clayton uses this branch for their line of Acetal picks. DuPont's (Wilmington, DE) Delrin developed and patented acetal homopolymer. Delrin is a Dupont trade mark/name. Dupont homopolymer acetal, is slightly harder, and stiffer than the copolymer branch. Both acetals have a matte surface for grip, and are highly durable. Ultem. This space age plastic has the highest stiffness of all plastic picks. Produces a brighter tone. Introduced by Steve Clayton,Inc., the material is additionally popular among mandolin players. Lexan. Glossy, glass-like, very hard surface, though it wears out relatively fast. Barely bends at all and it's commonly used only for thick and extra-thick picks (> 1 mm). Usually has a high-friction grip coating. Best known example of Lexan picks are Jim Dunlop Stubby series. Modern plastics can be ranged this way from the easiest to bend to the hardest: Nylon, Acetal, Delrin (Tortex/Delrex), Lexan, Ultem. This means that the same medium (for example, 0.70–0.80 mm) pick would be fairly flexible if made out of nylon and very solid if made out of Ultem. Source: Wikipedia

Guide-to-guitar-picks

When it comes to picks, everybody has their own preference. Some players use a small, hard pick and others use a thin, floppy pick. And quit your snickering, because we’re not done yet: others use a pick combined with their fingers, and still others use no pick at all.

When Should You Use a Pick?

Most electric guitar players use a pick. For acoustic guitar, picks are often used for strumming chord progressions. Picks are also very good for playing single-note lines as in lead guitar, melodic playing, and improvising.

Choosing a Guitar Pick

There are a few key characteristics of a guitar pick.

Pick Material:

Density and flexibility which affects the playability and the way the strings respond to the pick.

Fracture resistance which affects mostly what gauges are available for the material.

Hardness, which affects the scratch-resistance of the material as well as its tendency to wear over time.

Smoothness. The smoothest picks glide off of the strings, whereas the roughest ones don’t—and sometimes make an unpleasant noise as they meet the string.

“Feel”, a subjective quality making the pick pleasant to grip.

Pick shape and size

Shape which can affect how it wears, and how easy it is to grip.

Edge sharpness which can affect how easily the string “glides” off of the surface of the pick.

Edge bevel, the shape of the actual contour of the picking edge, which can affect the string’s resistance. Note that plucking with an upstroke will use a different part of the pick’s bevelled contour than with a downstroke.

Thickness (gauge), one of the most important factors affecting the pick’s overall playability and tone—and often a matter of both player preference and the requirements of whatever material is used.

Made from a “high-quality and highly-durable thermosetting plastic”, These picks are one of the best synthetic picks available.

Of all of the synthetics, one of the nicest ones to grip in the hand is, which is pleasantly cool to the touch. These picks have good tone, are wear-resistant, and the material is extremely low-friction, Out of the synthetic picks, produced the best results in tone, feel and control. The picks were useful both for strumming chords and playing lead lines. In addition, they are manufactured to specific sizes and shapes, which makes it easier to choose the ideal pick for your own playing.

The difference is after playing for a while, will feel the difference. Pick will provide a tonal foundation for your sound and your technique.

Fortunately, it’s a good time to explore picks, because there’s a smorgasbord of varieties available today.—companies like Fender, Dunlop, D’Andrea, Yamaha, Taylor, and Ernie Ball—a slew of smaller manufacturers are making top-notch picks in a variety of styles and materials.

These new companies include Red Bear Trading Company, Steve Clayton, Dava, Dugain, V-Picks, Wegen, JB, BlueChip, Golden Gate, Sabverott, PickBoy, Wedgie, and more.
