White ABS+
ABS+ filament is an advanced thermoplastic 3d printing filament. ABS, which stands for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Coex ABS + or ABS Prime is an engineering grade material made from a higher grade base resin which will provide an even stronger finished print than the standard Coex ABS filament. ABS is used by a variety of manufacturing industries for parts requiring structural integrity and detail and is commonly used in rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing environments to test product impact resistance and durability. 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 Prime 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 that will be impact and heat resistant. Common applications for ABS include end-use tools, moving parts, and parts that must withstand high mechanical stress.
Technical Printing Guide - COEX ABS Prime
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 necessary
- 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

| First Layer | 30% | 51.47 mm/s |
5. 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.
