It may be injection molded which makes it perfect for 3D printing extruders. It has a high glass transition temperature to reduce deformation but low enough to be safely attainable with 3D printers. ABS filament must be printed on a heated bed since the filament will curl upwards of the surface. The heated build platform in addition to a smooth flat surface helps reduce the deformation.

ABS filament is a hard strong plastic with some flexibility when in comparison to PLA filament. Additionally it is soluble in acetone, and It may be easily sanded and machined. It has ideal strength, machinability, and temperature resistance making it a favorite filament among 3D printer users.

Please store ABS filament in a cool dry place. ABS, if exposed to moisture, will bubble and spurt from the extruding nozzle. ABS filament will also be dried from a food dehydrator, oven, or from any source of hot air.
