Because
it’s more flexible than PLA, MakerBot ABS is great for mechanical designs or
ones that have interlocking or pin-connected pieces.
Compared
to PLA, ABS has a longer lifespan, is more impact resistant, and has a more
matte look and finish.
MakerBot
ABS Filament has a high melting point, so it’s suitable for machine or car
parts.
MakerBot
ABS Filament is soluble in acetone, so you can “weld” parts together with just
a drop or two or smooth surfaces and create a high gloss by brushing or dipping
full ABS pieces in acetone.
MakerBot
ABS filament adheres well to Kapton tape on a heated build plate.
MakerBot ABS Filament requires a heated build
platform. Also, make sure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free. Use MakerBot ABS Filament in a well-ventilated
area.
