ABS 1.75mm

ca original series Standard ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) 3D printer filament is our popular, tried and tested thermoplastic filament.

Our premium grade ABS is one of the most popular 3D printer filament because it is strong as well as impact and heat resistant!

ABS has a longer life span compared to PLA, it is durable and well suited for detailed and demanding 3D prints.

ABS has a slightly more matte finish than PLA.

ABS is more flexible compared to PLA, and is therefore a great choice for mechanical designs, designed with interlocking/pin-connected pieces etc.

The high melting point of ABS also makes it ideal for car parts.

ABS should be printed in enclosed printers and in well ventilated areas whenever possible for improved printing performance as well as reduced odor.

ABS prints can be sanded or smoothed using an advanced technique such as an acetone vapor bath.

Acetone in general, when applied to ABS can help produce parts that are glossy and smooth.

ABS filaments should be stored in a cool dry place since ABS tends to absorb some moisture from the atmosphere which can compromise quality and performance.
