Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) filament spools are used in the process of 3D printing. Its flexibility, strength, machinability & resistance to high temperatures make ABS an ideal 3D printing material choice for engineering professionals when creating parts for professional applications. This strong yet mildly flexible plastic makes creating interlocking parts & connecting 3D printed pieces easy. Thanks to its properties, ABS is easily worked; sanded & machined, giving you parts or models with a high quality finish. You can also add gloss to an ABS piece by lightly brushing it with Acetone or briefly dipping it in the substance. You can also use Acetone to ‘weld or connect parts created from ABS by using one or two drops to bond corresponding pieces together, making ABS an ideal choice for creating smaller pieces of a larger project. When using ABS in the process of 3D printing it is essential that you are located in a well ventilated environment. Please ensure that you store your ABS spool in a dry environment to prevent it from being exposed to moisture & humidity as this can negatively affect the 3D printing process.
