ABS - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

Strong, heat-resistant engineering plastic that usually needs an enclosure.

About the material

ABS is a classic engineering thermoplastic known for toughness and heat resistance. Properties: - Prints around 230-260 C nozzle, 90-110 C bed - Strong and durable for technical parts - Higher tendency to warping; enclosure strongly recommended Safety: - Use ventilation or filtration due to fumes during printing. Related: ASA, Warping, Filament.
