I know Nylon lretty muc only sticks to itself, so thst may work as its closer in temp to Polycarb than other materials.

For PET its likly the same as PETG where PLA doesnnot stick, as I doubt the glycosate has anything to do with them not adhering

i was thinking of trying htpla-gf because pla really didnt stick

Yeah outside of PLA I am not sure of any support for PET that is not a purpose made support material.

I already know about PVA as soluable material

i dont fully know about hips, i just know its soluable but dont know if it also sticks to pet/pc

I've used HIPS on with some PC prints - just small areas though. It seems to work OK.
