ABS
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
A durable engineering plastic commonly used for parts that need toughness and heat resistance.
Ease of use: Hard
This filament is tricky to print, heat-resistant. Worth watching: it can be prone to warping and a bit smelly to print.

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
Strengths
- Solid strength for everyday parts
- Handles heat well
- Prints clean with minimal stringing
- Good electrical insulator
