- Is this ABS or PLA?
- It is ABS. The listing also mentions PLA, but the spool itself is ABS, which prints hotter and is tougher and more heat resistant than PLA.
- Will it fit my printer?
- It is 1.75 mm filament, the common size for desktop printers. Check that your printer supports ABS and can reach the higher nozzle and bed temperatures it needs.
- Do I need an enclosure for ABS?
- For small parts, no. For large flat parts, an enclosure or heated chamber greatly reduces warping and layer splitting.
- How much filament is on the spool?
- The spool weighs 2.2 lb, about 1 kg of filament, which is the standard desktop spool size.
- Is ABS safe to print indoors?
- ABS releases fumes while printing. Print in a ventilated area or use a filtered enclosure, and keep it away from children and pets.
- Can I use it in a printer with a Bowden tube?
- Yes, but ABS prints best at higher temperatures, so an all-metal hotend is safer than a PTFE-lined one.
