We have started to add HIPS to our offerings, starting with 8 colors.

We have started to add HIPS to our offerings, starting with 8 colors. We have 3 mm in natural/translucent as well. In time, we will expand our color selection, and also match the selection for 3mm users.

Is the HIPS filament rigid once printed? Or is it flexible?

It is similar to ABS in rigidity and printing temperature.

@Joseph_Chiu , what about curling, build surfaces to print on, etc?

It is similar to ABS in my experience - it is similarly prone to shrinking and prints on the same surfaces with similar results. I print on kapton most of the time, and it works quite similarly.
