The 1–10 figures are a relative comparison within this catalogue, not a measurement.

ABS is not stocked, so it can't be ordered from the configurator. Email us and we'll quote it as a special run.

Overview

ABS holds its shape near 100 °C and can be sanded, drilled and solvent-welded, which makes it practical for housings and brackets that live near heat. It shrinks noticeably as it cools, so large flat parts need an enclosed chamber and remain prone to lifted corners and split layers. It also emits a strong odour while printing.

Pros

  • Service temperature near 100 °C
  • Impact resistant
  • Sands, drills and solvent-welds well
  • Suited to housings and enclosures

Cons

  • Shrinks and warps; needs an enclosure
  • Large flat parts can split between layers
  • Strong odour while printing
  • Lower dimensional accuracy than PLA

Typical values for this material class. Actual figures vary by filament brand and print settings — these are not a guarantee for your part.

"Price from" is the real charge for 20 mm cube, 15 % infill, one part — excludes shipping. “From” prices are the real charge for one reference part (20 mm cube, 15 % infill), computed by the same engine as your quote and including the €7.00 order fee, before shipping. Your part's price depends on its size, height and quantity — the live quote in the configurator is binding.
