ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Filament

ABS is a pioneering material in the world of home 3D printing, often referred to as the "grandfather" of 3D printing filaments. For optimal performance, ABS requires a heated bed and ideally an enclosed printing environment to maintain stable temperatures and prevent warping.

Heat Resistance

ABS is known for its superior resistance to heat, with a softening point around 105ºC. This makes it an excellent choice for 3D printed objects designed for outdoor use or applications exposed to high temperatures, as it offers greater durability compared to other filaments.

Printing Considerations

A notable downside of printing with ABS is the strong odor it emits during the process. While it may not bother most users, some might find it uncomfortable, particularly in small or poorly ventilated spaces. Therefore, it's recommended to print in a well-ventilated area to ensure a pleasant working environment.

Recommended Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190-260℃
• Bed Temperature: 80-100℃

ABS filament is a reliable choice for projects that require heat resistance and strength, making it a popular option for functional prototypes and durable parts.
