Fiberlogy ABS 1.75 mm Onyx 850 g

Fiberlogy ABS Filament Description for 3D Printers

3D4U presents ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) from Fiberlogy – a true expert in strength and durability for FDM/FFF 3D printing. This 1.75 mm diameter, 850 g filament is a reliable choice for projects requiring high mechanical and thermal resistance.

Parts printed using Fiberlogy ABS are characterized by exceptional hardness, high impact resistance, and resistance to abrasion. They can also withstand elevated temperatures (up to 94°C), significantly expanding the application range compared to PLA or PETG.

The advantages of ABS are particularly valuable for engineers and designers. It allows for the creation of not only concept models and prototypes but also fully functional end-use parts, especially those requiring increased rigidity and resistance to external factors. The possibility of post-processing, both mechanical and chemical (e.g., acetone vapor smoothing), opens up additional opportunities for achieving a smooth surface finish.

Properties of Fiberlogy ABS Filament

Fiberlogy ABS possesses several key characteristics that make it a popular choice for engineering tasks:

• High Hardness and Stiffness: Ensures structural integrity of parts.
• High Impact Resistance: Prints are resistant to drops and impacts.
• Heat Resistance: Maintains shape at temperatures up to 94°C (HDT B).
• Abrasion Resistance: Suitable for parts subjected to friction.
• Post-Processing Capability: Easily sanded, drilled, and smoothed with acetone vapor for a glossy finish.
• Good Layer Adhesion (under proper conditions): Allows for the creation of strong, solid objects.

Applications of ABS

Thanks to its properties, Fiberlogy ABS finds application in various fields:

• Prototyping: Creating durable functional prototypes, connecting elements, enclosures, parts requiring heat resistance.
• Tooling and Jigs: Printing gauges, templates, fixtures, gears, and other parts needing high strength and wear resistance.
• Gadgets and Consumer Goods: Electronics housings, stands, keychains, protective cases.
• Toys: Construction brick elements (similar to LEGO), robot parts, car components.
• Household Items: Hangers, flower pots, vases, custom organizers.

It is a versatile engineering 3D printing material when increased strength and heat resistance are required.

Fiberlogy ABS Print Settings

The following parameters are recommended settings for Fiberlogy ABS. Achieving the best print quality may require fine-tuning the optimal values for your specific 3D printer and conditions.

Note: Ensuring good first layer adhesion and minimizing warping requires a high and stable bed temperature (90-110°C). Using adhesives like ABS juice (ABS dissolved in acetone) or specialized glues, as well as printing with a brim or raft, is highly recommended. Printing in an enclosed chamber helps maintain a stable temperature around the model, significantly reducing the risk of delamination and shrinkage.

Tips for 3D Printing with Fiberlogy ABS

Printing ABS can be challenging, but with the right approach, excellent results can be achieved:

• Use an Enclosed Chamber: This is the most crucial factor for successful ABS printing. An enclosure maintains a high and stable temperature around the model, preventing rapid shrinkage, delamination, and warping.
• Maximize Bed Adhesion: Heat the bed to 90-110°C. Use Kapton tape, ABS juice, or special adhesives. Printing with a wide brim or a raft also helps.
• Turn Off or Minimize Cooling Fan: Part cooling is generally unnecessary and even detrimental when printing ABS, as it causes too rapid cooling and shrinkage. Minimal cooling (up to 10%) might be acceptable only for bridges or steep overhangs.
• Ensure Room Ventilation: ABS emits fumes with a distinct odor (styrene) when printed. Print in a well-ventilated area or use an air filtration system.
• Dry the Filament: ABS also absorbs moisture, although less than PETG or Nylon. Drying at 60°C for 4 hours will improve print quality and layer adhesion.
• Avoid Drafts: Even with an enclosure, sudden temperature changes from drafts can negatively impact the print.

Comparing ABS with Other Fiberlogy Materials

Choosing between ABS and other plastics depends on the requirements for the final part:

ABS remains a popular engineering plastic due to its combination of strength, heat resistance, and post-processing capabilities, despite its higher printing demands.

Why Choose Fiberlogy ABS

Fiberlogy ABS is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable and high-performance material:

• Mechanical Strength: Ideal for creating parts subjected to loads and impacts.
• Heat Resistance: Withstands higher temperatures than PLA and PETG, crucial for many functional applications.
• Post-Processing Options: Easily sanded, drilled, painted, and acetone-smoothed for a professional finish.
