1.75mm ABS filament

About 1.75mm ABS filament

ABS (Acrylonitril-butadieen-styreen) filament is first material used for 3D printing. This is because ABS is a very well known material. It's all around us in everyday life in the shape of plastic buckets, light switches, children's toys, etc. ABS can withstand (almost) all sorts of weather. Snow, rain, sun, cold. This makes ABS an excellent material for outdoor uses. ABS is strong, but stays a bit flexible after printing. This causes it to bend before breaking. Lego bricks are the best example of this. Items printed with ABS filament can be post processed with acetone. This gives them a smooth finish and a nice shine.

Thomas Sanladerer (een 3D printer enthousiast and authority) tells more about ABS as 3D printing material in the video below.
