Stick to Hatchbox or Matterhackers for ABS

This is not pure ABS. It's a compound so the shrinkage is really high and you have to use 10 seconds more to flow than regular ABS. Even then, it still doesn't work well. The anthracite color was great, but the grip itself isn't very good and it didn't want to lay down well. I bought two spools and printed about 100g from each spool before giving up on this product. Bought because Amazon didn't have a hatchbox and hackers because it was hijacked when the covid shit started. It never hurts to try new materials, but it didn't stand a chance of displacing me from my two favorites. You can try it and like it, but I'll wait for others to fill up before I print again. In that case, run the Creality CR10. Microswiss print head (BEST INDIRECT DRIVE HEAD) with Bowden hose.

Cons
  • No automatic
