====== ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) ====== ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a very strong and versatile plastic with great thermal resistance. It is the best material for printing mechanical parts. For example ABS is the material used to make LEGO parts. For further information see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene|Wikipedia]]. === ABS advantages === * Parts can withstand temperatures of up to 80°C without loosing strength * Parts can be vapor smoothed for greater strength and better surface finish * Easy to glue with acetone === ABS disadvantages === * Requires heated bed for prints without warping === Printing information === * 220°C - 240°C printing temperature * 80°C - 100°C heated bed temperature
