Descripción del producto

We provide the highest quality 3D printing materials such as ABS, PLA, HIPS, and more. Our filaments are round and are run with tight tolerances. There are no air bubbles or oily residues. Every filament comes loaded on a durable, hard plastic spool, not a cheap, flimsy cardboard spool. The 1 kg net weight filament has a filament roundness of +/- 0.*5 mm.

ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a polymer that is molded and engineered to be a great material for 3D printing. It is a favorite filament among 3D printer users because it is light weight and durable. It can be injection molded which makes it perfect for 3D printing extruders. It has a high glass transition temperature to reduce deformation, but it is also low enough to be safely attainable with standard 3D printers. ABS is a hard strong plastic with some flexibility when compared to PLA. It is also soluble in Acetone, and it can be easily sanded and machined. It has good strength and machinability. In combination with the higher temperature resistance, it is often the preferred plastic among 3D printer users.

PLA - Some PLA filament colors are translucent and are hard to visualize through an eBay picture. Those colors are blue, brown, purple, red, orange, green, and yellow. - Polylactic Acid, is created from processing a number of plant products. PLA can be composted at commercial facilities unlike ABS which is derived from fossil fuels. PLA is a more earth friendly plastic. It is stronger and more rigid than ABS, and in general the printed objects will have a more glossy look and feel compared to ABS. Unlike ABS, PLA can be sanded and machined. PLA has a lower melting temperature compared to ABS. As a material, PLA has much less warping versus ABS. Additionally, a heated bed is not required to print it. PLA generally enjoys sharper details and corners compared to ABS without the risk of cracking or warping. PLA can also be printed at higher throughput speeds.
