Our take on the MakerBot MP01978 True Orange 1.75 mm ABS plastic Filament

This is a 1.75 mm ABS filament spool in True Orange from MakerBot, aimed at users of MakerBot's Method and Sketch series printers and other open-material 1.75 mm machines. ABS gives parts more heat resistance and impact toughness than PLA, but it prints hotter, tends to warp on large flat parts, and gives off fumes that call for ventilation. The 2.2 lb spool is a modest amount, so heavy users will go through it quickly. Compared with generic ABS, the MakerBot name mainly buys consistent diameter and color match rather than a lower cost per gram.

Questions and answers

Does this ABS need a heated bed?
Yes. ABS prints best with a heated bed around 100 C and an enclosure to limit warping. On a cold, open printer, large parts will likely lift at the corners.
Is it compatible with non-MakerBot printers?
It is standard 1.75 mm ABS, so it fits most 1.75 mm printers that can reach ABS temperatures. You will need to set your own temperature and cooling profile rather than rely on MakerBot presets.
How is ABS different from PLA for this spool?
ABS takes more heat and impact before failing, which suits functional parts. PLA is easier to print, warps less and has little odor, so it is the better choice for display pieces.
How much filament is on the spool?
The spool holds 2.2 lb of 1.75 mm filament, roughly a kilogram. That is enough for small and medium parts but not many large ones.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes. ABS gives off fumes while printing, so print in a ventilated room or with an enclosed printer and filter. Avoid printing in a bedroom or small closed space.
Where is the MakerBot MP01978 True Orange 1.75 mm ABS plastic Filament cheapest?
At Newegg, for $51.58, as of our latest check.
