Push Plastic ABS Engineering Filament – 1.75mm, 1kg

Print durable, heat-resistant parts for real-world use with Push Plastic ABS Engineering Filament. ABS offers greater toughness, impact resistance, flexibility, and temperature resistance than PLA, making it a dependable choice for functional components, prototypes, and shop-use parts.

ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, has a long history in manufacturing and prototyping. It is well suited to brackets, mounts, enclosures, fixtures, mechanical components, and other parts that need to withstand repeated handling or moderate heat without being as brittle as PLA.

Why You’ll Like It

• Functional-part performance: A strong option for durable prototypes and end-use components.
• Improved heat resistance: Better suited to moderate-temperature applications than PLA.
• Good impact resistance: Produces tougher, less brittle parts for repeated handling.
• Machinable after printing: Finished parts can be sanded, drilled, tapped, or machined.
• Post-processing options: Compatible with acetone vapor smoothing for a more refined surface.
• Engineering versatility: Useful for brackets, mounts, enclosures, fixtures, shop accessories, and mechanical parts.

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle temperature: 230–260°C
• Bed temperature: 90–110°C
• Nozzle: 0.4mm standard; larger nozzles may be used for stronger or faster prints
• Layer height: 0.16–0.28mm
• Print speed: 30–60mm/s starting range
• Enclosure: Strongly recommended
• Cooling: Reduced cooling generally improves layer adhesion

Printing and Ventilation Tips

• Use an enclosed printer with stable temperatures to reduce warping and layer splitting.
• Prepare a clean, ABS-compatible build surface and verify first-layer adhesion before beginning a long print.
• Print toward the higher end of the temperature range when maximum interlayer strength is the priority.
• Allow the completed part to cool gradually before removing it from the bed.
• ABS can produce noticeable fumes while printing. Use it in a well-ventilated area or with a filtered enclosure.
• Follow appropriate safety precautions when sanding, machining, or using acetone for vapor smoothing.
