Description
This is a description of ABS filament, which is often preferred by engineers and professionals because of its higher temperature resistance, machinability, flexibility and strength. The slight odor given off when heated may make this less desirable for home use. ABS filament can be used with Polyimide tape (MG Chemicals cat# POL100-15, POL200-15) and MG Chemicals Acetone (cat# 434-1L) to improve adherence of the ABS plastic to the heated print bed. Acetone can also be used for vapor and dip smoothing ABS printed pieces. MG Chemicals offers one of the largest selections of unique and vivid colors of 3D printer filaments in the market.
