ABS Filament

Shop ABS filament for impact-resistant prototypes, housings, workshop parts and functional components. Standard ABS combines rigidity, durability and useful heat resistance, but commonly needs a hot bed, low cooling and an enclosure for stable printing. Compare standard, modified, PC-blend, glass-fibre and specialist flame-retardant grades below.

Which ABS grade should you choose?

Standard ABS Choose for rigid, impact-resistant and machinable prototypes, housings and end-use components. Browse standard abs
ABS+ Choose when the exact modified grade documents reduced shrinkage or easier printing than standard ABS. Browse abs+
PC/ABS Choose when low-temperature impact performance or higher thermal stability justifies a more demanding profile. Browse pc/abs
Glass-fibre ABS Choose for increased rigidity, reduced shrinkage and dimensionally stable parts. Browse glass-fibre abs
Flame-retardant PC/ABS Choose only when the exact documented flame behaviour and PC/ABS performance match the application. Browse flame-retardant pc/abs

ABS settings vary by formulation, and reinforced grades can require a hardened nozzle. Print ABS in a well-ventilated area while keeping cold drafts away from the part. Always use the exact product's print settings and technical data sheet.

When another material is a better fit

ASA Prefer ASA when the finished part needs declared UV and weather resistance for sustained outdoor use. Compare ASA PETG Compare PETG for general functional parts when lower shrinkage and printing without a heated enclosure are priorities. Compare PETG PLA Choose PLA for easier concept models and fixtures that do not need ABS-level impact or heat performance. Compare PLA

ABS buying questions

Does ABS need an enclosure?

Standard ABS commonly benefits from one, especially for large parts. Fiberlogy recommends an enclosure for its standard ABS and PC/ABS. Some modified ABS+ products can be easier to print, but the exact product instructions take priority.

Should ABS filament be dried?

Dry it when the product guidance calls for it or when print quality indicates moisture. Fiberlogy specifies 60°C for four hours for its ABS, and 70°C for four hours for its PC/ABS. Do not transfer those temperatures to an unrelated spool without checking its data sheet.

What is the difference between ABS and ABS+?

ABS+ is a manufacturer-specific modified ABS, not a single standard recipe. It may reduce shrinkage, improve strength or make processing easier. Compare the declared properties and print settings of the exact grade.

When should I choose PC/ABS?

Choose PC/ABS when impact resistance, including at lower temperatures, and higher thermal stability are important. It normally requires a higher nozzle temperature, drying and an enclosure, so it is a more demanding choice than standard ABS.

Does glass-fibre ABS need a hardened nozzle?

The Fiberlogy ABS+GF sold in this material family is highly abrasive and its manufacturer requires a hardened steel or ruby nozzle. Always follow the nozzle guidance for the exact filled grade.

Is ABS the right choice for outdoor parts?

Only when the exact ABS grade documents the weathering performance your application needs. For sustained sunlight and weather exposure, ASA is the clearer starting point because UV and weather resistance is a declared product property for ASA grades such as Spectrum ASA 275.
