Filamenty ABS
A filament is a piece of wire that you can attach to the 3D printer. It usually has a thickness of 1.75mm or 3mm. ABS and PLA filaments are both made from thermoplastic that can be changed into an object due to the heating process and can regain their shape when cooled. Thus, the filament provides the basis for the 3D model. Think of it as a kind of ink for your printer. ABS is tested several times before it can be sold to consumers; thus it’s quality ensures that you can print very impressive 3D objects. ABS is a very solid filament type and is usually available in many colors. The printing temperature of this material is between 220 ° C and 260 ° C. The ideal temperature depends on the printing speed, and the desired appearance of the object. A heated bed is required if you want to use ABS. Botland.store offers a large variety of high-quality ABS filaments at reasonable prices. Browse this category to find the best product for your needs.

Why ABS filament?
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS polymer) is a material that many years ago definitely dominated the markets for universal and dedicated electronic housings, toys and household appliances . High mechanical strength with optimal flexibility and impact resistance , as well as a relatively high melting point , make ABS one of the plastics in the modern world. 3D printing was also quickly dominated by this material, despite the need to use high head temperatures (several dozen degrees higher than for an average PLA filament) and heating the work table. Virtually every 3D printer today is technologically prepared to work with the parameters imposed by ABS filaments.
ABS filaments – what should you remember?
When choosing a material for 3D printing, certain limitations of each material technology should be taken into account. ABS filaments, apart from the obvious requirements for the printer itself (working temperatures, bed heating), also require maintaining a fairly stable temperature of the environment in which the printer operates . Temperature changes (caused by air conditioning or draft) can significantly affect the quality and durability of the print, to which ABS is relatively sensitive. In addition, you should remember about the toxicity of gases generated in the process of melting the material in the head - hence the need to remove fumes through efficient ventilation and make sure that no people or animals stay near the device for an unnecessarily long time during printing. However, if you remember these limitations, 3D printing using ABS will reward you with excellent quality and durability. ABS filament - 3D printing using this material guarantees print quality while maintaining appropriate work rules.
ABS Polymer - Different colors, different needs
ABS filaments, due to the popularity and versatility in 3D printing described above, are available in a wide range of colors and shades . Our offer includes various colors ranging from pure white to deep black. One of the filaments - Devil Design ABS-T 1.75mm 1kg - Transparent - is completely transparent, which gives amazing opportunities to create illuminated elements, e.g. using RGB LEDs. You will certainly easily find interesting applications for such material. We also stock a wide range of filaments in shades of yellow (Bahama Yellow), orange (Orange, Lion Orange, Bright Orange) and red (Red, Dragon Red), as well as various varieties of blue (Pacific Blue, Blue, Super Blue). or green (Forest Green) and gray (Dark Gray, Silver Star, Gray). ABS - Universal filament.
ABS filaments - FAQ
ABS filament is made from petroleum-based acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene and styrene monomers. This type of plastic is known for its strength and impact resistance. It allows you to print durable parts in 3D that will be able to withstand really intensive use.
Choosing a good ABS filament means first understanding the key technical data. Always check the diameter (most common: 1.75mm), specific gravity, breaking stress, printing temperature, impact strength. You can find ABS filaments and smart ABS filaments from leading manufacturers in Botland.
It can happen. When printing with ABS filament, proper temperature management is necessary. If cooled quickly, cracks or split layers may appear on 3D parts. To get perfect prints, your 3D printer should be equipped with a housing. Also dry the ABS filament before 3D printing.
In order to obtain a smooth and shiny surface, we can wipe the filament with acetone, but be careful - remember to choose the right amount of liquid, because acetone dissolves ABS. Acetone vapors act as a solvent and can be useful in possible processing and grinding as well as in the creation of ABS juice, glue and slurry.
