Materials
3D printing in ABS
The classic plastic for housings and technical parts: tough, light and more heat resistant than PLA or PETG.
Good for
- Housings and covers for equipment
- Car interior parts
- Functional parts working up to about 85 °C
Not good for
- Outdoors in the sun: over time it yellows and turns brittle
- Contact with solvents such as acetone
- Very large, flat parts: the edges may curl slightly
At a glance
