About ABS

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a classic engineering thermoplastic used in everything from LEGO bricks to car bumpers. It offers good heat resistance, impact strength, and can be acetone-smoothed for a professional glossy finish. However, ABS is one of the more challenging filaments to print -- it requires an enclosed printer to prevent warping and emits fumes that require ventilation. For those who can manage its printing requirements, ABS remains a reliable choice for functional indoor parts.

Enclosure recommended for ABS printing.
Dry filament before use: 77°C for 4 hours.
