RS PRO 1.75mm Black ABS 3D Printer Filament, 300g

RS Pro 3D Printer Filament ABS 1.75mm

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is an extra strong impact-resistant filament ideal for 3D printing of solid printed products. ABS can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers
Due to the process stability and physical features of ABS it is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in industry. The material is also very light and durable making ABS particularly suitable for tools, toys and all kinds of utensils. Printed at a slightly over-average temperature for ABS, this filament gives extra strong 3D print results.

This RS Pro range of ABS 3D printing material comes in various colours:
• 832-0311 – Black 1Kg
• 832-0315- White 1Kg

• 832-0333 – Orange 1Kg
• 832-0337 – Silver 1Kg
• 832-0343 – Grey 1Kg
• 832-0346 – Pink 1Kg
• 832-0349 – Gold 1Kg
• 832-0352 – Fluorescent Yellow 1Kg
• 832-0355 – Fluorescent Orange 1Kg
• 832-0453 – Black 300g
• 832-0469 – Red 300g
• 832-0472 – Pink 300g
• 832-0497 – Fluorescent Orange 300g

Features and Benefits
• Very high impact-resistance
• Extra strong – printed at a higher temperature
• Stable printing
• Light and durable
• Limited warping – requires a heated bed
• Recommended temperature for heated bed is 90°C to 110°C
• ABS has a shiny glossy look

It is important to store this filament correctly to maintain its quality. Over time the plastic will absorb moisture from the air, creating small water bubbles in the filament. These bubbles when heated in the extruder nozzle will quickly reach boiling point, spoiling the print. The use of desiccant dehumidifiers to absorb the moisture is highly recommend.
