ABS Filament

Excellent filament at a good price. Had no issues printing with it and I have an older Flashforge Creator Pro with the original MK10 hot end. No clogs, no odor, good adhesion, strong layer bonding and strength, and a nice smooth finish and color. I got great results with a bed temp of 100C and nozzle temp of 250C. Will be buying more for sure.

I got this for two projects where I needed some extra strength. My first small test prints were nearly perfect, without the stringing of PETG or PLA, but I still had some lessons to learn. This ABS has much less adhesion to the print bed than the PLA and PETG I used before. This caused my first larger object to lift at one end, hitting the print head and creating an unacceptable "washboard" effect. The fix wasn't hard. I used the stick adhesive which came with my printer (other people use hairspray). That was enough to keep things stable. Note also that the ideal temperature for ABS is higher. I'm using 90 C for the bed and 255 C for the print head, but testing for your application is always a good idea. The first photo shows my real reason for buying ABS. It is a handlebar to add more comfortable hand positions on an indoor trainer. It clamps to the bike's original bar at two points, using steel bolts through the ABS shapes. Hex insets for the nuts worked nicely. This is the center part of the bar, to which I added "cowhorns" printed separately. I made D.I.Y white ABS cement from a recipe online and it worked great. I would not consider it responsible to ride a home-printed ABS bar on a road or trail, but for a trainer it seems more than strong enough. I should spray it with a UV-resistant coating since it does see some sun exposure through a window. If you look carefully you can see that one of the tall thin supports failed, but you can blame me or the Cura slicing software for that. Probably no material would have built that correctly. There was no harm to the final object. The other photo shows one of the test objects you can find online. It was printed with no supports and the "bridges" came out nicely with no stringing. I have not cleaned up this print. You can see that the underside of the large overhang is quite rough beyond 50 degrees, but the overall shape is right.

First off, let’s talk about the color. This filament is a solid black that looks great on any print. If you want your prints to look bold and striking, this filament has got you covered. When it comes to reliability, Polymaker delivers. This filament prints like a dream, with no unexpected surprises or tantrums. It’s like having a loyal sidekick that always shows up on time and ready to work. You won’t have to worry about failed prints or jams with this trusty spool by your side. The layer adhesion is nothing short of excellent. Each layer bonds perfectly with the next, creating prints that are as sturdy as they are beautiful. It’s like the filament has a built-in sense of teamwork, ensuring every print is a cohesive masterpiece. Consistency is key, and Polymaker nails it. Every batch of this filament offers the same high quality, so you know exactly what you’re getting every time you load it into your printer. It’s like having a favorite restaurant that never lets you down, serving up perfection with every meal. In conclusion, what else can I say? The Polymaker ABS Filament 1.75mm Black is great filament for the money. It prints reliably, has great layer adhesion, and maintains consistent quality. If you’re looking for filament that performs as well as it looks, this is the one to get. So go ahead, unleash your creativity, and let Polymaker be the hero of your 3D printing adventures.

I’ve ordered this Polymaker PolyLite ABS several times now, and it’s pretty much become my default ABS filament. It’s consistently good, which honestly isn’t something you can say about every ABS out there. What I like: Low odor: This is the biggest win for me. Regular ABS can really stink up a room, but this stuff has a noticeably lighter smell. It’s a huge difference compared to the cheaper brands I’ve used. Prints really well: It feeds smoothly, layers down nicely, and the colors match the product photos almost exactly. No surprises when you open the box, which I appreciate. Clean winding: I’ve never had a tangle or knot. The winding is neat all the way through the roll, which makes printing a lot less stressful. A couple small downsides: Cardboard spool: I like that it’s eco-friendly, but the spool doesn’t always survive shipping perfectly. A few times the edges arrived a bit bent. It still works fine on my spool holder, but it can be annoying if it’s really warped. One tip: Like any ABS, it absorbs moisture. Even though it comes sealed, I always dry the spool before printing. Once it’s dried, it prints flawlessly for me—no popping, no weird surface issues.

Reliable, Vibrant, and Easy to Print for ABS – Great Value! I've used several brands of ABS over the years, and the Polymaker PolyLite ABS in Neon Green really stands out—literally and figuratively. The color is bold, bright, and consistent throughout the spool. It gives prints a really striking look, especially under good lighting or UV. Pros: Print Quality: Excellent layer adhesion with minimal warping (when printed in an enclosure). Surface finish is smooth and clean, even on more detailed prints. Color: The neon green is super vivid and pops. Great for models where visibility or aesthetics matter. Dimensional Accuracy: As advertised—my calipers measured it within the ±0.03mm tolerance, which helped ensure consistent extrusion. Durability: Strong and heat-resistant as expected from quality ABS. Great for mechanical or functional parts. Packaging: Comes vacuum-sealed with desiccant, and the spool is neatly wound with zero tangles. Things to Note: Smell: As with all ABS, there is a noticeable odor when printing, so good ventilation or an enclosure with filtration is a must. Bed Adhesion: You’ll need a proper heated bed and possibly an adhesive like ABS slurry, Magigoo, or Kapton tape to prevent first-layer lifting. Not Beginner-Friendly: If you're new to 3D printing, ABS in general is trickier than PLA or PETG. Verdict: Polymaker’s ABS delivers on quality, consistency, and durability. It's a solid choice for experienced users who need strong parts with a vibrant finish. With the right setup (enclosure, ventilation, bed adhesion), this filament performs exceptionally well.

My husband and I are very experienced with 3D printing. We purchased this filament for a specific project and it will not stick to the base plate. We have a very nice base plate and have never had problems like this before. Every print gains and messes up because it will not stick. We finally took it to a friend to try on a different brand of machine and same issue occurred. Using different filament, no problem at all. We have decided that the issue is the filament and sadly will think twice before buying this brand again.

Look let's be honest. Polymaker makes GREAT filament. It prints well runs true to color, does not arrived tangled, does not clog nozzles and is just all around outstanding. Unfortunately they ONLY provide it on cardboard spools and I simply cannot recommend you order cardboard spooled filament from Amazon. Amazon damages at least 1 out of every 2 cardboard spools they deliver to me and that damage means the spools won't run in my AMS. I love Polymaker and would use their filament exclusively if they would offer refills that I could install on my existing plastic spools.

So i bought this Polymaker Neon ABS Filament for a project I was working on (it's pretty neat, by the way). It definitely wasn't the cheapest option out there, but after printing with it, I can say that it's worth every penny. The quality is great - no issues with jamming or anything like that. Plus, the neon orange color is really eye-catching, especially under a black light (which i totally have in my room for some reason). It's kinda hard to find good UV reactive filaments sometimes, so this was a nice surprise. The packaging was also top notch - came with a resealable bag and desiccant to keep the filament dry. I always get annoyed when my filament gets all wet and starts to print poorly, but this one stayed in great condition. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase. It prints flawlessly, looks fantastic, and is definitely worth the price. If you need a high-quality UV reactive ABS filament for your next project, I HIGHLY recommend checking this one out (it even comes in other colors too).

Très bon filament ABS, facile at imprimer.

定番です。迅速丁寧に対応頂きました。満足です、ありがとうございました。

Similar to other brands at higher price point.

I use this ABS filament with the Polymaker ABS profile in Orca Slicer on an Elegoo Centauri Carbon, using an additional chamber heater. Printing has been straightforward with these settings. I did not need extra tuning. I had some minor bed adhesion issues with very small parts, but a brim usually fixes that. The filament has been consistently reliable. The spool is well wound, feeds smoothly, and I have not had any tangles or clogs. Print quality has been very good, including fine detail with a 0.2 mm nozzle. Layer adhesion is solid, surfaces come out clean, and I have not had warping problems when printing enclosed and heated. After using Polymaker filament, it is hard to go back to cheaper brands. It dries quickly and behaves predictably after drying.

so i bought 2 of these, one teal and one black, the black one failed over and over, i wasted a massive amount of filament because the roll was wound far too tight!
