Buying ABS filament for your 3D printer? Order from 123-3d.co.uk for the best price!

At 123-3d.co.uk you pay the best price for ABS filament for your 3D printer. With this filament you can 3D print a wide variety of objects. Order ABS in various colours, in the common diameters 1.75mm and 2.85mm, or opt for filament with a glow in the dark effect. For 3D printing with ABS filament, a 3D printer with heated bed is highly recommended. This cools the 3D-printed object gradually and does not warp.

You can order ABS filament at 123-3d.co.uk in a large number of colours, from gold to pink. All supplies for the print bed can be ordered directly. You will find handy print stickers at 123-3d.co.uk. To beautifully finish your objects printed with ABS, we offer various finishing sets and articles. If you place an order with us before 7pm, you will most likely have it in your hands the next business-day.

ABS Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need ventilation when printing ABS?

Yes, you absolutely must have ventilation when printing using ABS filament. This is because ABS releases hazardous gasses like styrene, and ultrafine particles that can cause headaches, dizziness, and potentially long-term health problems. Active venting is recommended, which means either a fan directing air out the window or a

Does ABS work with my 3D printer?

ABS filament can be used on many—but not all—3D printers. To use ABS filament, your printer needs a heated bed, a high nozzle temperature, and ideally an enclosed print chamber to reduce warping. Likewise, while ABS is valued for its durability and strength, it also produces noticeable odours and fumes, so good ventilation is also important. Successful printing typically depends on maintaining a heated environment, using a bed temperature high enough for proper adhesion, and running the hotend at the necessary temperatures. If your printer includes a heated bed and an enclosure (or can be upgraded with one) it will likely handle ABS effectively. However, open frame printers generally struggle without modifications.

Is ABS suitable for outdoor or mechanical parts?

ABS filament is generally suitable for both outdoor and mechanical parts because it offers high strength, durability, and impact resistance, making it a reliable choice for functional components that experience stress or repeated use. Its relatively high heat tolerance also helps it perform well in most reasonable mechanical applications. For outdoor environments, ABS can work but has limitations due to its sensitivity to UV light, which can cause fading and brittleness over long periods of sun exposure; however, this can be improved with protective coatings. Overall, ABS is strong and practical for mechanical use, and acceptable outdoors with proper precautions.
