Hi,
I’ll soon receive a Form 2 and I’m getting ready for use.
This mean I need some IPA alcohol for the finishing.
Problem is, here in switzerland it doesn’t seems to be a common thing, tried a couple pharmacies / drug stores but they didn’t knew what it was.
Same issue with diy stores.
Does somebody from Switzerland know where to source it ? Or what is the name of it here ? (I tried alcool isopropylique, isopropanol) or what can it be replaced with ?

@3DVS have you tried searching online? Not sure if there are any country-specific problems in Switzerland, but in the UK I found a ton of online suppliers for IPA, even Amazon:

Hi,
I wouldn’t go to a pharmacy, it will cost way too much for a small amount.
Try and buy a 25L container at a Reagent online. That should last you over a year for moderate use. In the UK that would set you back about £80/100
We use 99% alcohol content.
Thanks,
James

Hi,
We are not from Switzerland but maybe you can try the same webshop where we buy ours: Résultats rech. pr isopropano | Höfer Shop
It’s not expensive and they are really fast to deliver.
Sincerely,

Hi all, thanks a lot for the answers!
Höfer Chemie doesn’t ship to Switzerland (contacted them direclty via email yesterday :), idem from amazon)
ReAgent ships only to UK.
The only seller I’ve found is this (on amazon DE) : Amazon.de
I can get 10 liters for around 55 euros, including shipping, sound great, what do you think ?
The only apparent problem is that it comes in non marked bottles, so you’re not really sure it’s pure IPA…

Hello,
You can find isopropyl alcohol at this address : Alcool Isopropylique 1L (location in Valenciennes near Lille)
Payment and delivery by chronpost. It is a serious site very reactive.
Good ptinting with your Form 2. This is the best printer.
Regads,

I wasn’t using the right term (isopropylalkohol in one word) apparently there is even a 3d shop selling it : https://www.3dprofi.ch/zubehoer/zubehoer-3d-verbrauch-sla/isopropylalkohol-99-9-1l-inkl-voc.html
But quite expensive…
I may order some there until I find a better source (amazon de, …).
Thanks
My best luck with getting it at a good price was actually going to local hardware stores.

Actually it’s not that easy in switzerland.
I’ve found 1 that has it (but you have to preorder it and then go to get it) and it’s ~12 usd per liter.
Ask in CH before! Orders@moesadaur.CH price 9chf/LT
