About ABS
A durable, heat-resistant engineering plastic that can be acetone-smoothed — but it warps hard and emits fumes (styrene), so an enclosure and ventilation are effectively required. Higher nozzle and bed temps, minimal part cooling. Being displaced by ASA for outdoor work, but still the classic for tough indoor parts.
- Durable indoor functional parts
- Parts needing heat resistance
- Acetone vapor-smoothed finishes
- Printing without an enclosure
- Poorly ventilated rooms (fumes)
- Large flat parts prone to warping
- Long-term UV/outdoor exposure (use ASA)
