What is ABS filament?
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a classic engineering plastic for 3D printing. Advantage: high heat resistance (up to ~90 °C). Disadvantage: it smells and requires an enclosure.
Properties and use
ABS is a plastic used for decades - Lego, car parts, electronics. In 3D printing we value its heat resistance (softens at ~95 °C) and good toughness. Good for car parts, outdoor in sun (with UV coating) and mechanically stressed applications.
Printing parameters
- Nozzle: 240-260 °C
- Bed: 100-110 °C
- Cooling: 0-30 %
- Enclosure: Required
- Speed: 40-60 mm/s
ABS vs. ASA
ASA has similar properties to ABS but better UV resistance - more suitable for outdoor parts. ABS is cheaper, ASA more durable outdoors.
