Polymaker ABS Filament 1.75mm Grey, 1kg ABS 3D Printing Filament, PolyLite ABS 3D Printer Filament, Heat Resistant, Strong & Durable, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03mm

This filament is great. I was hesitant to print with it because I had heard it could be tricky and I have less-than-great experiences with PETG and TPU to a lesser extent. But no, it prints easily and about as fast as PLA at least in my printer (Qidi Q1 Pro). The color and surface finish look beautiful, and the prints just FEEL really sturdy in the hand.I admittedly haven't used any other brand of ABS filament, but I'll go ahead and believe that the smell is minimal compared to others. That being said: the fumes are still there even if there's no chemical odors. Don't be like me and try to print this stuff indoors especially if you have asthma or other respiratory condition like I do. But since that's a quirk of ABS printing in general I won't hold it against this product and it won't affect the rating.

First off, let’s talk about the color. This filament is a solid black that looks great on any print. If you want your prints to look bold and striking, this filament has got you covered.When it comes to reliability, Polymaker delivers. This filament prints like a dream, with no unexpected surprises or tantrums. It’s like having a loyal sidekick that always shows up on time and ready to work. You won’t have to worry about failed prints or jams with this trusty spool by your side.The layer adhesion is nothing short of excellent. Each layer bonds perfectly with the next, creating prints that are as sturdy as they are beautiful. It’s like the filament has a built-in sense of teamwork, ensuring every print is a cohesive masterpiece.Consistency is key, and Polymaker nails it. Every batch of this filament offers the same high quality, so you know exactly what you’re getting every time you load it into your printer. It’s like having a favorite restaurant that never lets you down, serving up perfection with every meal.In conclusion, what else can I say? The Polymaker ABS Filament 1.75mm Black is great filament for the money. It prints reliably, has great layer adhesion, and maintains consistent quality. If you’re looking for filament that performs as well as it looks, this is the one to get. So go ahead, unleash your creativity, and let Polymaker be the hero of your 3D printing adventures.

Polymaker ABS has been the best printing ABS I have used. The Galaxy line makes some of the best looking prints.

I got this for two projects where I needed some extra strength. My first small test prints were nearly perfect, without the stringing of PETG or PLA, but I still had some lessons to learn.This ABS has much less adhesion to the print bed than the PLA and PETG I used before. This caused my first larger object to lift at one end, hitting the print head and creating an unacceptable "washboard" effect. The fix wasn't hard. I used the stick adhesive which came with my printer (other people use hairspray). That was enough to keep things stable.Note also that the ideal temperature for ABS is higher. I'm using 90 C for the bed and 255 C for the print head, but testing for your application is always a good idea.The first photo shows my real reason for buying ABS. It is a handlebar to add more comfortable hand positions on an indoor trainer. It clamps to the bike's original bar at two points, using steel bolts through the ABS shapes. Hex insets for the nuts worked nicely. This is the center part of the bar, to which I added "cowhorns" printed separately. I made D.I.Y white ABS cement from a recipe online and it worked great. I would not consider it responsible to ride a home-printed ABS bar on a road or trail, but for a trainer it seems more than strong enough. I should spray it with a UV-resistant coating since it does see some sun exposure through a window.If you look carefully you can see that one of the tall thin supports failed, but you can blame me or the Cura slicing software for that. Probably no material would have built that correctly. There was no harm to the final object.The other photo shows one of the test objects you can find online. It was printed with no supports and the "bridges" came out nicely with no stringing. I have not cleaned up this print. You can see that the underside of the large overhang is quite rough beyond 50 degrees, but the overall shape is right.

Good product for the money.

This is my go-to filament and is one of the most consistent brands of Filament that I have used. I have never had a clog with this brand.Very high quality and reliable!

Great color, the metallic properties make it extra fun. One of the accent colors on my Voron 2.4. The sparkly panel clips are from one of those interesting build plates.Prints like a polymaker ASA, no particular concerns. My v2.4 skirts are a bit stringy as I haven't finished dialing in the extruder. No issues on my tuned v0 with a hardened nozzle, 25mm³/s volumetric limit.

Works as advertised.

El material no viene en cajas individuales, sino sólo en bolsas resellables. No ocupan tanto espacio y no se hace mucho desperdicio. Hasta ahora no tenemos ninguna observación al respecto, llevamos mucho tiempo imprimiendo con Polymaker.

Nice filament but took me a few days to get the hang of it. I had to buy a creality multi-kilo spool carrier which cost me another £40 as this reel would not fit inside my Ender3 S1 Pro enclosure. Once I had positioned the spool so that the filament entered through a small gap in the zip, then looped around an empty 1 kg spool and then down to the extruder, I could finally start printing!Initial prints were not great but then I realised the label on the side of the spool said 245 to 270°C, so I upped my nozzle temperature from 240 to 260° C and then the prints came out perfect. I could even run at 70 mm/s speed with no loss of quality. All in all not too bad and now that I’ve got the right equipment and the right temperature I will probably buy more of this filament , but at £60 for 3kg it is not really any saving on my usual eSun 1kg reels which are £20 each.

Alles I.O.

Zortrax M200を使っているのですが、Z-ABSの価格がかなり上がっている上に入手性も良くないので代替として買ってみました。データシートを参考にノズル255℃、ベッド90℃、リトラクション速度20mm/s、リトラクションディスタンス1.0mmに設定するとZ-ABSと比較して遜色ないレベルでプリントできました。ちなみにZ-ABSの設定のまま印刷してみると糸引きがかなりひどいことに。仕上がりはZ-ABSより若干テカリが強いかなといったくらいで、代替として十分使えると思います。
