PolyLite ABS is a 1.75mm ABS filament for 3D printers, sold on a 1 kg spool. It is made with a specialty bulk-polymerized ABS resin that has significantly lower volatile content than traditional ABS resins. This gives minimal odor during printing.
Printer requirements depend on model size. A non-enclosed printer with a 90˚C bed and 260˚C printing temperature can handle models smaller than fist size. Larger prints need an enclosed printer (about 40-50˚C). Models bigger than about 15-20 cm in any direction need an actively heated chamber (about 70˚C or more). Proper bed adhesion helps larger parts print without deformation or warping.
Printed parts can be smoothed with acetone. Acetone is a dangerous chemical and must be handled with the necessary safety precautions. PolySmooth is a safer alternative for creating smooth-surfaced models.
