Review on Amazon Basics ABS 3D Printer Filament Additive Manufacturing Products for 3D Printing Supplies by Mike Cody

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Stay away from ABS unless your project requires it, big learning curve and waste of time.

If you are interested in 3D printing, you know ABS is difficult to work with. Requires the right temperature, constant temperature during printing and is prone to warping. I've successfully printed with ABS, but this filament required more heat than others and adhesion on large pieces was mediocre. I almost felt like I needed another heat source on the prints while printing to keep the plastic from sticking to itself.

Pros
  • Please make sure your printer supports 2.85mm filament before purchasing this filament. This filament is supported by all open standard 2.85mm 3D printers. Check your printer before you buy to avoid unnecessary returns.
Cons
  • Some bugs
