ABS Gray 5kg 1.75 mm

External dimensions of the plastic spool:

29.7 cm outer diameter

15.2 cm wide

Suitable for rods up to 3.5 cm in diameter.
It is recommended to print a dispenser if you do not have one. To download a dispenser for a 5 kg cylinder, click here…

Not every printer can print the material (a printer with a hermetic closure is recommended), resistant to up to 100 degrees, very easy to finish, hard (less brittle than PLA).
The ABS is a pro type and contains additives, so it is not possible to slide it with acetone.

Petroleum-based thermoplastic polymer. One of the most common filaments, preferred by engineers due to its lightweight, slightly flexible, and durable nature. Excellent for making interlocking parts. Supports are removed more easily than with other filament types.

The disadvantage is that it is not possible to fill a product with a thickness of more than 20% filling.

The material has shrinkage.

These phenomena are manifested in models that detach from the printing surface in the middle of the process, in poor connection of the model layers or distortion. (Therefore, a closed cell is needed to reduce this phenomenon)

Since ABS is petroleum-based, it is not healthy or pleasant to breathe for long periods of time and it is therefore advisable to work with it in ventilated areas.

There are several tools that help with working with ABS:

A. Using a heated surface of the 3D printer (at a temperature of 100 degrees).

B. Applying glue according to the type of surface (there are surfaces that do not require glue).

ABS Gray 5kg Working temperatures:
240-260 degrees to the printer head (nozzle)
Work surface temperature – 95-110 degrees (ABS has shrinkage properties. In printers without a closed chamber, care must be taken to adhere to the surface).

Fans: Work without fans.

Closed printer – working with ABS is recommended for users who have a closed chamber – the heat is concentrated in the printing area.

Prevents the model from detaching from the surface and deforming.
