Tiertime Filament ABS+ 1,75mm 500g (3 colors)

ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer. It is often used in everyday products like remote controls, LEGOS, etc. ABS begins to soften at 90°C and melts at 190°C. It is heat resistant and quite flexible, making it suitable for printing small, precise, and mechanical parts due to its higher resistance to heat and impacts. The use of ABS requires the systematic use of a heated bed to limit the effects of shrinkage, the main defect of this material.

For optimal printing results, we recommend calibrating your nozzle temperatures between 260°C to 275°C. Ideally, the heating plate should be set at 130°C to avoid warping. These values are indicative and should be adjusted accordingly.

ABS contains Styrene, emitted during melting in the form of fine particles, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory disorders. Its effects on humans are still not fully known. As a precaution, we recommend using careened and filtered 3D printers in dedicated empty spaces or spacious and ventilated places when printing with ABS. Otherwise, consider using PLA filament, which does not present any known dangers to humans to date.
