Shop3D Product Notes

ABS is an intermediate material to use on 3D printers—like the Ultimaker—and is a material that has been around since the beginning of desktop 3D printing. ABS+ is a variation of ABS that provides lower shrinkage and warpage throughout the printing process while maintaining the high temperature and impact resistance that traditional ABS is known for.  

Visually, ABS+ provides a matte-like finish when compared to other 3D printing materials. Furthermore, sharp corners have a more rounded out definition when compared to PETG and PLA. These qualities can result in a high quality look as the matte finish hides print lines (especially in black) and the rounded corners make printed objects look professional. ABS+ is quite tough, and a part printed solid is similar in strength to an injection molded ABS part.

While the exterior of regular ABS prints can be smoothed via acetone vapors, ABS+ is more resistant to the smoothing effect of acetone and is not recommended for individuals looking to smooth their parts using this process.

When printing with ABS+, we recommend (Dimafix) to help with bed adhesion. Proper ventilation is recommended as well.
