Owning a 3D printer without filament is just like having a regular printer without paper or ink. Even though many printers come with some filament, chances are you've printed a lot and need a new supply. That's why we offer a full range of 3D printing filaments in various colors! This 3mm white ABS filament spool weighing 1KG is an excellent basic material for 3D printers. But note, ABS filament doesn't work with Printrbots. Before buying, it's always smart to check what filament diameter and type your printer can handle. ABS is a lightweight thermoplastic, perfect for extrusion. It's less brittle than PLA and can resist temperatures between 200 - 250°C, making it ideal for experienced 3D printers and engineers. However, ABS gives off a chemical smell, so print in a well - ventilated area. We've sampled filaments from many trusted 3D filament suppliers and tested them on our 3D printers. Ultimachine's plastics are the most reliable for printing and spooling. We use Ultimachine filament for all Adafruit weekly projects. Their high - grade materials rarely clog!
Using this 3D printer ABS filament is easy. First, make sure your printer can handle 3mm diameter ABS filament. If you're not sure, check your printer's manual. When you start printing, ensure you're in a well - ventilated area because the filament gives off a chemical smell. Set your printer's temperature between 200 - 250°C as ABS has good temperature resistance in this range. After each use, store the filament in a dry place to keep it in good condition. Don't leave it in a hot or humid environment, as this might affect its quality. And remember, this ABS filament doesn't work with Printrbots, so always double - check your printer compatibility.
