Building on its prolific use in extrusion bioprinting, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) has become one of the gold standard materials for VAM-based biofabrication strategies . GelMA provides key thermogelling properties that aid in object formation, while its photoactive functionalization crosslinks in the presence of cells. However, GelMA's natural origin leads to variability in its final chemical structure, driven by differences in molecular weight distribution and the inherent randomness of gelatin modification processes . These properties subsequently raise the costs associated with high-quality, lowvariability commercial GelMA products and limits reproducible VAM experimentation . Other contemporary hydrogel photopolymers have focused on the use of thermogelling materials, with norbornene-and allyl-functionalized gelatin as primary networks, and non-functionalized gelatin as a secondary network . Here, we aim to decouple the need for thermogelling VAM photopolymers by introducing a secondary physical hydrogel to enhance the printability of low cost, small molecular weight photopolymers.
