Description:
ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Styrene) is a widely used 3D printing oil-based plastic. It is a strong material that can be used to create tough and sturdy plastic printouts for everyday use; an example is the popular Lego building blocks which uses ABS plastics in their construction.

Best printing practices
When 3D printing, always work in a well-ventilated workspace.
ABS Filaments have a high melting point. Because of this, we recommend ABS printouts be outputted at a temperature range of 230-270°C with a print-hotbed temperature between 80-120° Celsius to ensure optimal results. Furthermore, ABS can experience warping and/or cracking if cooled while printing or immediately after. To prevent this, ensure no cooling is directed at the ABS while printing, such as a fan.
Please store ABS filament away from the sun in a cool dry environment to ensure longevity as moisture can compromise print quality.
