Description

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a 3D printing plastic. It’s a versatile petroleum-based material that belongs to a family of thermoplastic polymers. It’s a popular choice for many, but it’s not the only option on the market. There are different brands and grades of ABS filament, which makes them unequal in terms of usage and design. ABS is popular for a few reasons. To start with, experienced users like ABS because it’s strong, affordable, and it’s easy to modify the parts after printing. The downside is that it’s a tricky filament for the novice to work with. The main reason is because it flows slowly from the print head and shrinks as it cools down. Unless all the printer settings are exact, too much shrinking can make high-precision printing difficult. Very hard and sturdy
