High quality ABS filament for use with 1.75mm extruders.
RoboSavvy ABS is sourced from a plastic manufacturer with more than 20 years of experience in plastic extrusion guaranteeing that you get the best quality of 3D printing filament for your printer.
ABS is a strong and durable plastic commonly used in industrial and consumer products. This is the material that LEGOs are made of.
Due to the ABS own tendency to shrink when cooling, it can be slightly more challenging to print with ABS when compared to PLA. Before purchasing ABS reels, please confirm that your 3D Printer is compatible with ABS.
As a thermoplastic polymer, it can melt and cool without altering its chemical properties. That makes it an interesting 3D printer filament. There are some companies like Zortrax, which have dedicated 3D printers for the material.
Great mechanical properties: The material is known to be strong, tough and durable. It is also forgiving to scratches, offers good resistance to heat and everyday chemicals. It can endure heat, pressure and stress like no other home 3D printer material, making it a great choice for „wear and tear“ prints. You can try this out yourself: If you move a strain of ABS filament, will distort and bend before breaking. PLA breaks much more easily.
Great results: It’s quite forgiving, as long as you print with the right settings and a proper temperature management. You can even achieve overhangs of around 45 degrees. If the print succeeds, the results are very convincing.
Easy to process: Most makers like the material because you can process its surfaces with acetone, glue parts and even file off some material. Lastly, it can be easily painted with acrylic colors.
