BVOH settings

Can anyone recommend the best settings for Verbatim BVOH? (used as a support for PLA)
I read that it’s best to use it only for the interface layer between model and support, and that it should not be used in the first layer.

Except for that, any other settings that you can think of? (like retraction speed, temperature, …)

I print Verbatim BVOH reliably now! Its better than PVA.

Dry it complely.
nozzle temperature 245 ( it clogs over 250)
density 1.14 (probably not important)
no cooling for first 1000 layers (it sometimes fails with fan)

in support setting:
set top distance=0
bottom z distance=0.08 (else bvoh wont always stick to PLA)

this has reliabley worked with my H2D and BVOH+PLA

if you are having trouble, make a simple test print like alternating layers and test print. AI got me the idea of the z bottom offset which was the key i was missing.
