ABS- ABS+ Filament Models

ABS Filament Models – Ideal for Durable, Heat-Resistant, and Professional Prints

ABS filament is one of the most preferred 3D printing materials for projects that require high strength and heat resistance.
Thanks to its mechanical durability, long lifespan, and professional-grade quality, it is widely used by everyone from hobbyists to engineering teams.
At Robotistan, you can find a wide range of reliable ABS filament brands such as Creality, TinyLab, and Porima.

ABS Filament Features

• High heat resistance: Much more durable compared to PLA.

• Strong and impact-resistant: Ideal for mechanical parts, equipment, and robotics applications.

• Smooth surface finish: Suitable for sanding, machining, and post-processing.

• High break resistance: Ensures reliable prints for functional parts.

• Industrial-grade material: Commonly used in automotive, prototyping, and engineering projects.

For best results when printing with ABS, using an enclosed 3D printer is recommended. Check out our 3D Printers category for suitable models.

What Projects Is ABS Filament Suitable For?

ABS offers significantly better performance than PLA in the following applications:

• Functional part and equipment production
• Machine / robotics spare parts
• Durable prototypes
• Automotive applications
• High-temperature-resistant parts
• Threaded mounts, lid mechanisms, connectors

If your project requires high durability, ABS is the right choice.
For more decorative and easier prints, explore PLA filament options, or for a balance of toughness and printability, check out PETG filament models.

ABS Filament Print Settings

Recommended settings for ABS printing:

• Nozzle temperature: 230 °C – 260 °C

• Bed temperature: 90 °C – 110 °C

• Enclosure: Enclosed printers are recommended

• Cooling fan: Minimum or off

• Adhesion aid: ABS slurry, glue stick, or PEI surface

These values may vary by brand; be sure to check the technical details on the product page.

ABS Filament Prices

ABS filament prices may vary depending on the brand, color, spool weight (1 kg / 750 g / 500 g), manufacturing quality, and material formulation. At Robotistan, you’ll find both budget-friendly and professional ABS filament options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is ABS filament?

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a thermoplastic 3D printing material that offers high strength and heat resistance.

Which is better, ABS or PLA?

PLA is easier to print. ABS, on the other hand, is much more durable and heat-resistant. Choose based on your project needs.

Is printing with ABS difficult?

With an enclosed case and proper temperature settings, you can achieve stable prints. It’s one of the best materials for industrial and functional parts.

What printers can print ABS?

3D printers with a heated bed and preferably an enclosed chamber — like Creality Ender series or Bambu Lab models.

Is ABS filament safe?

ABS can emit odorous fumes during printing; proper ventilation is recommended.
