Where it shines

Classic ABS for higher-temp parts; smooths beautifully with acetone vapor.

Common use cases: structural, high-temp, post-processable.

Where it falls short

Warps badly without enclosure; emits styrene during printing.

Print profile starting point

  • Nozzle temp: start at 225°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
  • Bed temp: 90°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 110°C if first layer struggles.
  • Drying: 65°C for 4 hours before printing if the spool has been opened more than a few days.
  • Enclosure: required to prevent warping and layer cracking.
