Material & Compatibility

Flame retardant ABS retains the core benefits of traditional ABS while enhancing fire resistance, making it suitable for more technical and safety-conscious projects.

Print characteristics include:

• Strong, impact-resistant parts
• Moderate flexibility with high durability
• Matte to semi-gloss finish depending on print settings

Printing considerations:

• Requires a heated bed for proper adhesion
• Enclosure recommended to minimize warping and cracking
• Higher extrusion temperatures than PLA
• Controlled environment improves print consistency
• Proper ventilation recommended during printing

Compatibility:

• Compatible with most FDM/FFF 3D printers that support ABS
• Works with standard 1.75mm filament systems
