ABS
WHAT IS ABS?
ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a thermoplastic that is easily molded when heated and hardens evenly when cooled. ABS is tougher and lighter than PLA which makes it ideal for prototyping.

APPLICATION & TIPS
Tougher and lighter than PLA, it is ideal for prototyping applications.
For best results, the thinner the layer, the slower you print, the higher quality you will get.
Print with a bed temperature of 100 - 110°C.
For good adhesion to the print bed and easy removal, we recommend installing a WHAM BAM Flexible Build System on your FDM Printer.
