Aqua Blue ABS

ABS filament is a thermoplastic 3d printer filament ABS, which stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. It easily molds when heated and sets evenly when cooled.  ABS filament is used by a variety of manufacturing industries for parts requiring  structural integrity and detail, and is ideal for “wear and tear” projects. It is commonly used in rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing environments to test product impact resistance and durability. It is also popular with 3D printing hobbyist who utilize 3D printing in their home or at a local maker faire.  This 3D printer filament comes in a variety of colors and is available in 1.75 and 2.85 MM in diameter, and comes in 500 g, 5 lbs, 15 lbs and 1 kg.

As opposed to PLA and PETG filament, ABS is a bit more technical and may be more challenging for new 3D printing users and requires the use of an enclosed 3D printer.  ABS is a stiff 3D printing material and it is impact and heat resistant. Common applications for ABS include end-use tools, moving parts, and parts that have to withstand high mechanical stress. 

 

 

Technical Printing Guide - COEX ABS

1. Material Notes

  • Keep filament dry - store properly and dry before use
  • If needed, dry at 75°C for 3 hours or more
  • Enclosure is nessecary
  • Use Z-offset slightly higher than PLA (+0.05mm)
  • Enable "Avoid crossing perimeters" to reduce stringing
  • Consider using the "Wipe while retract" option
  • Enable "Slow down for small perimeters."
  • Print outer walls slower for better quality
  • Use a minimum layer time of 30 seconds for small parts
  • Consider using "Extra Prime Amount" after retraction

2. Temperature Settings

Bed Temperature: 80-100°C

  • Wash the bed often for good adhesion - Use dish soap and rinse thoroughly to remove oils
  • Use bed adhesion products if necessary (gluestick, WELD3D)
  • Use brim for tall or large prints
  • Keep the ambient temperature stable

Extruder Temperature: 245-265°C

4. Retraction Settings

IMPORTANT: Set travel speed to the maximum your machine allows (200-500mm/s). Faster movements reduce filament oozing time, minimizing stringing.

Nozzle Distance Speed Z-Hop
0.4mm 1.0-1.5mm 40mm/s 0.2mm
0.6mm 1.0-1.5mm 40mm/s 0.2mm
0.8mm 1.0-1.5mm 40mm/s 0.2mm
1.0mm 1.0-1.5mm 40mm/s 0.2mm

 

6. Cooling Settings

Cooling Configuration:

    • First Layer: 0% (fan off)
    • General Printing: 100% base fan speed
    • Bridges and Overhangs: 100% fan speed
    • Layers < 15 seconds: 100% fan speed

7. Troubleshooting Guide

 Problem Solution
Irregular extrusion

1. Dry the filament

2. Check the extruder

3. Reduce speed
Poor adhesion

1. Dry the filament

2. Use adhesive

3. Adjust the first layer
Stringing

1. Dry the filament

2. Adjust retraction

3. Increase travel speed

4. Check temperature

 

PLEASE NOTE: These printing parameters are initial recommendations based on our experience. They may need adjustment depending on your specific 3D printer, environmental conditions, and the geometry of the part you are printing. Use these settings as a starting point and fine-tune them according to your specific needs.
