3DXTech ABS Standard Dark Grey Summary
This filament is tricky to print, heat-resistant. Worth watching: it can be prone to warping and a bit smelly to print.
Print characteristics
Layer adhesion ExcellentBed adhesion ChallengingBridging & overhang GoodSpeed sensitivity ModerateWarping HighShrinkage 0.4-0.8 %Stringing LowOozing LowOdor Strong
Strengths
- Solid strength for everyday parts
- Handles heat well
- Layers bond strongly for clean, watertight prints
- Prints clean with minimal stringing
- Good electrical insulator
Things to watch
- Prone to warping, use a heated bed and ideally an enclosure
- Degrades in sunlight, not ideal for long-term outdoor use
- Gives off noticeable fumes, print with ventilation or filtration
- Fussy about bed adhesion, use a brim, glue, or a textured plate

Specialties
Heat ResistantWithstands elevated temperatures (hot car, warm electronics) without deforming. Printable on standard printers. HDT ~80-120°C.
Tough / Impact ResistantEngineered to resist breaking, cracking, or shattering under impact. Unlike standard PLA, which snaps, this flexes slightly before breaking. Ideal for parts that get dropped, bumped, or stressed.
Chemical ResistantResists damage from oils, fuels, acids, industrial chemicals or solvents. For laboratory equipment, fuel system components, or chemical storage.
Vapor SmoothableReacts to chemical vapors (acetone for ABS/ASA, or other solvents) that partially melt the surface. Creates a glossy, injection-molded finish with no layer lines.
SandableEasily sanded, filed, or carved without gumming up sandpaper.
