ABS Ultrafuse (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

Ultrafuse ABS is strong, flexible, and resistant to high temperatures. It is a favorite plastic for engineers and professional applications. ABS can be sanded with acetone and sprayed. To successfully 3D print with ABS you will most likely need a heated print bed.

Characteristics:

• Very difficult
• Long lasting
• High wear
• Chemical resistance

Tips and Tricks

• Printing temperature: 230-255 degrees
• Heated bed: 90-120 degrees
• Bed modification: tape, spray or glue
• Speed: 30-70mm
• Fan: 0-100% to avoid deformation.

Material properties

• Tensile strength (MPa): 21.3 (ZX), 36.3 (XY)
• Flexural modulus (MPa): 1587 (ZX), 1767 (XZ), 1833 (XY)
• Elongation at break: 1.8% (ZX), 7.4% (XY)
• Izod impact strength with notch (kJ/m2): 3.5 (ZX), 18.9 (XZ), 18.8 (XY)
• Unnotched Izod impact strength (kJ/m2): 7.2 (ZX), 35.7 (XZ), 40.0 (XY)
• HDT at 0.45 MPa: 96 oC
