ABS Filament

Open up creative possibilities with our selection of premium ABS 3D printer filament. ABS filament, renowned for its high durability and strong resistance to heat, is a great choice for creating robust and long-lasting 3D-printed objects. Whether you need a functional prototype or intricate model, the versatility and ease of use of ABS 3D filament are unbeatable.

Our collection comes in a variety of colors, ensuring that your prints are never limited by lack of choice. From vivid hues to neutral tones, each ABS printer filament we offer is engineered to deliver consistent color and quality throughout your entire print process.

Embrace the value offered by ABS filaments, known for their ease of post-processing which allows for a smooth finish and compatibility with most 3D printers. Our ABS filaments stand out as a perfect option for those who value reliability and aesthetic versatility in their 3D printing materials. Shop with us and bring your projects to life with the vibrant and enduring characteristics of ABS filament.

ABS filament is compatible with most FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printers equipped with a heated bed. It's also important to ensure that the printer is in a well-ventilated area, as ABS can emit fumes that may be unpleasant and should not be inhaled in large quantities. Always check your printer's specifications to confirm that it can reach the necessary temperatures and that it is constructed to handle ABS material.

Warping occurs due to the difference in cooling rates between the layers of the printed object. To prevent warping with ABS filament, it’s critical to control the temperature of the environment:

• Use a heated print bed, maintaining a temperature of around 80 to 110 degrees Celsius.
• Apply an adhesive to the print bed to improve first-layer adhesion (Magigoo Original is recommended)
• Enclosing the printer or covering it to maintain a warm, stable air temperature around the print can also be beneficial
• Print the first few layers at a slower speed to ensure proper bonding to the print bed
• Utilize a brim or raft, which are additional layers printed around or under your object, to increase surface area and improve adhesion

Yes, ABS 3D filament can be recycled or repurposed, making it a more sustainable option for 3D printing enthusiasts who are environmentally conscious. The recycling process typically involves shredding or grinding the used ABS plastic, which can then be melted down and extruded into new filament. However, this requires specialized equipment. Although ABS recycling is not as straightforward as recycling other plastics like PETE or HDPE, efforts to repurpose and recycle ABS can contribute to reducing plastic waste.
