Imagine having a 3D printer but no filament. It's like having a regular printer without paper or ink! Even though many printers come with some filament, you might have printed a lot and need a new supply. That's why we offer a wide range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This ABS filament spool, with a 1.75mm diameter, black color, and 1KG weight, is an excellent basic material for 3D printers. Note that ABS filament doesn't work with Printrbots. Before buying, always check what diameter and filament type your printer can handle. ABS is a lightweight thermoplastic that's perfect for extrusion. It's less brittle than PLA and can withstand temperatures between 200 - 250°C, making it great for experienced 3D printers and engineers. However, it gives off a chemical smell, so print in a well - ventilated area. We sampled filaments from many trusted 3D filament suppliers and tested them on our 3D printers. PrintInz's plastics were the most reliable for printing and spooling. We now use PrintInz filament for all Adafruit weekly projects. Their materials are high - grade and rarely clog!
Using this ABS filament is easy. First, make sure your 3D printer can handle 1.75mm diameter ABS filament. Before starting, check your printer's settings and set the temperature between 200 - 250°C as ABS has good heat resistance. When you're ready, load the filament into your printer. Since ABS gives off a chemical smell while printing, always make sure you're in a well - ventilated area, like near an open window or with a fan running. As for maintenance, keep the filament spool in a dry place to prevent it from absorbing moisture. If you notice any signs of clogging in your printer, stop the printing process immediately. You can try to clear the clog gently, but if it persists, contact the printer's manufacturer for further assistance. With proper use and care, this high - quality ABS filament will serve you well for many 3D printing projects.
