Adafruit ABS Filament for 3D Printers - 1.75mm Diameter - White - 1KG

Having a 3D printer without filament is like having a regular printer without paper or ink. While a lot of printers come with some filament, there's a good chance you've been printing up a storm and need something new. This ABS 1.75mm White 1Kg spool serves as a fundamental material for 3D printers.

ABS filament is not compatible with printrbots, so it's always a good idea to check what diameter and filament type your printers can handle before purchasing. ABS is a lightweight thermoplastic that's excellent for extruding. It's less brittle than PLA and offers a higher temperature resistance of 200-250°C, making it suitable for advanced 3D printers and engineers.

One drawback of ABS is the chemical odor it emits, so it's advisable to print in a well-ventilated area. For additional information on different 3D printing materials, there's a detailed tutorial on our Learn System.

Why choose this filament over other options? We sampled filaments from numerous trusted 3D suppliers and tested them with our 3D printers. Although several options worked adequately, we found that PrintInz's range is consistently reliable in both printing and spooling, leading us to use PrintInz filament for all Adafruit weekly projects. The high-grade materials they provide are rarely prone to clogging.
